Poppy Cleall's try on the stroke of half-time put England in the box seat and coach Simon Middleton's side secured their eighth consecutive victory over France. Captain Scarratt converted the game's only try to send England into the changing rooms 7-0 to the good. Mistakes mounted as pressure told, but robust defence denied France any chance of a try that could have turned the game. England played the clock and the French breakdown inaccuracy to perfection, milking a kickable penalty at the death.
