England women hit France for six Tries from the captain, Katy Mclean, Maggie Alphonsi, Claire Allan, Ruth Laybourn and two from Kay Wilson sealed a comprehensive win for Gary Street's side. Mclean boosted her points tally after 22 minutes, spotting a gap in the French defence and racing through to touch down before converting her own try. Alphonsi, making her first appearance in white for 20 months, scored England's third as she crashed through several players before diving over, with Mclean adding the additional two points. Allan stepped off the right wing to finish off a well worked move for try number four before Agricole brought the half to a close with her second penalty. Soon after the break, Wilson scored her second try, picking up a quick pass from Alphonsi before touching down near the posts. Mclean nailed the conversion to make it 33-6 but France hit back minutes later when the centre Marion Lièvre intercepted a loose pass and ran through to score with Agricole closing the deficit to 20 points. Laybourn scored England's sixth with five minutes remaining and Reed added the conversion. But France had the final word when Lièvre went over for her second try, which was converted by the reliable Agricole.
