Women's Six Nations champions England will face "another level of intensity" when they play France in Lille on Friday, says full-back Ellie Kildunne. The Red Roses beat the same opponents last Saturday to win the championship for the third year in a row. Kildunne added that such games were ideal preparation for next year's World Cup, where England will face France in the pool stage. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Rugby Union Weekly, England men's scrum-half Danny Care said the victory showed the Red Roses' "championship-winning mentality". "I think France were the better team on the day but the Red Roses stuck in the fight," he said.
