England vs Australia highlights\u00a0<\/p>\n
5′: Australia are making a statement! Talakai storms across the line in a green and gold maul. Wood converts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
7′: An almost instant response from England with Breach flying down the left side to mark her 50th cap in style. No conversion. \u00a0<\/p>\n
16′: \u00a0Karpani crosses the line but it is held up. No try.<\/p>\n
19′: Hunt and Kildunne successfully defend a seemingly inevitable Australian try from behind England’s try line, with Kildunne kicking it away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
20′: The English maul is back! Cockayne barrels the ball over line. Again, no conversion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
21′: Cockayne’s try has been disallowed for a knock-on. Australia are back in the lead.<\/p>\n
24′: Botterman is down. The England prop is replaced by Kelsey Clifford.\u00a0<\/p>\n
27′: Australia’s Sam Wood kicks a powerful 50 – 22, putting the Australian side into offensive mode, but they are unable to get past the English wall of defence.<\/p>\n
31′: Abbie Ward pushes across the line and Zoe Harrison converts as England take the lead 12 – 7.<\/p>\n
33′: Wallaroo’s Kavoa is replaced by Pohiva after being injured defending against England’s recent try.\u00a0<\/p>\n
37′: England’s penalty line out pays off, as their brief maul storms across the line for Kabeya to touch it down. Harrison converts again to further extend England’s lead before half time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
43′: The Red Roses open the second half in style, as Kabeya chases the ball and touches down. Harrison’s precise boot earns England another two points.\u00a0<\/p>\n
45′: Wallaroo captain Palu is replaced by Tuinakauvadra, whilst English fullback Ellie Kildunne is checked for a head injury after a heavy tackle, being replaced by Helena Rowland.<\/p>\n
49′: Kildunne is confirmed as not returning to the pitch for the rest of the match.<\/p>\n
52′: A yellow card has been issued to Australia fly-half Moleka, meaning the Wallaroos will have to play a woman down for ten minutes of this crucial match.<\/p>\n
53′: Off the back of Australia’s yellow card, Clifford score from a line-out. Harrison converts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
54′: Lark Atkin-Davies and Sarah Bern come on for England, replacing Cockayne and Muir.<\/p>\n
56′: Australia’s Marsters is replaced by Chancellor. Red Roses’ Feaunati temporarily replaces Talling as she goes for a head injury assessment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
58′: Clifford dummies a pass to fool the Australian defence and barrel through to touch down under the posts. Another effortless conversion from Harrison.\u00a0<\/p>\n
61′: Galligan, Hunt and Heard are replaced by Ives Campion, Packer and Aitchison.\u00a0<\/p>\n
64′: Another English try to the glee of the Albion Stadium, as Sarah Bern scores. Harrison converts.<\/p>\n
65′: Australian Leonard is replaced by Codey. Feauanti is confirmed as a permanent switch for the English side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
68′: Steward makes a break for the English line, but once again the Red Roses defence proves superior.\u00a0<\/p>\n
70′: Bern makes a high tackle against Karpani and earns herself a yellow card, taking herself off for the remainder of the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
