There is just one change to the USA starting pack that faced Italy in Nashville last week, with Exeter Chiefs prop Hope Rogers promoted from the bench to the starting front row, replacing Lauryn Carlton.

There has also been one change in the backline, as Abigail Paton replaces Taina Tukuafu at scrum-half.

USA: Cowdrey; Mataitoga, Henrich, Vogel, Kelter; Mason, Paton; Rogers, Treder, Sagapolu-Senele, Taufoou, Ehrecke, Humphreys, Perris-Redding (co-capt), Tafuna.

Replacements: Stathopoulos, Carlton, Tupou, Jarrell-Searcy (co-capt), Bailey, Zackary, Bargell, Hann.

You also must tip your hat to Ellie Kildunne and how she has managed herself with her new-found fame. After England beat New Zealand at Allianz Stadium in September, she spent an hour signing autographs and doing selfies to an unrelenting, screaming chorus of "Ellie, Ellie, Ellie".

Managing your own needs as an athlete and the increasing demands of fans is not an easy circle to square.

So where does Kildunne go from here? That is actually the most exciting bit.

No-one with a spiral bomb like she produced in the 2025 Rugby World Cup final is going to fade into the shadows. She is an incredible athlete and rugby player, so the expectation is that, much like Doctor Who, she will just regenerate.

Kildunne 2.0 could end up spending more time on the wing for England initially, but you can only see her fighting for a shirt and getting better.

England's team bus was late to the ground. Kick-off has been put back to the original start time of 21:15 GMT.

Will Ellie Kildunne get back ahead of Emma Sing?

Hit the thumbs.

Ellie Kildunne remains one of the world's most phenomenal players when it comes to gainline success and metres gained.

Much of this is due to poor opposition defence, but her statistics show a decline over the past three seasons at international level.

It seems almost harsh to highlight as these are numbers other players could only dream of but she's also gone from beating an average of six defenders a game in 2024, to 4.2 in 2026.

Kildunne has also conceded more penalties in 2026 than either of the previous two years.

Emma Sing now appears to have some purchase on the England 15 shirt and it is well deserved. She is a different full-back to Kildunne, which is a bonus for the Red Roses.

Sing has three PWR titles with her club side Gloucester-Hartpury and has been one of their most reliable players throughout that period.

Ellie Kildunne remains on the England bench, despite head coach John Mitchell making six changes to his side.

The 27-year-old full-back was dropped for the 31-22 defeat by Canada last Saturday, with Mitchell saying she needed to show "greater consistency".

England: Sing; Venner, Jones, Heard, Moloney-MacDonald; Aitchison, Robinson; Carson, Cokayne, Muir, Talling, Ives Campion, Burton, Kabeya, Feaunati

Replacements: Field, Botterman, Bern, Short, Matthews, Hunt, Harrison, Kildunne

Canada were the first team in a long time to really match the Red Roses physically. They went toe-to-toe with them. These two teams need to be playing each other as often as possible to help grow the game.

England getting stopped in their tracks will be the best thing for them. This Red Roses team can go to a higher level.

England captain Meg Jones remains relaxed despite back-to-back defeats.

The Red Roses have not lost three matches in a calendar year since 2016.

"We're not broken, we just need to grow," said Jones. "Do it together, use the lessons. We're playing the best teams, getting the best punches thrown at us.

"I genuinely believe we've got the best players in the world. When we're firing, generally we're unstoppable. We don't dwell on the past, we're not anxious about the future, we're focused on the present."

Canada, who drew with England at Sandy Park in September, brought the Red Roses' 41-match unbeaten run to an end.

It was England's first defeat since November 2022, when they lost to New Zealand in the World Cup final.

That late victory in Toronto was followed by another Canadian win in Ottawa.

John Mitchell had previously never lost as England head coach, having taken charge of the side in 2023.

Canada have certainly had their revenge after last year's World Cup final defeat to the Red Roses.

The new WXV Global Series has no league table or trophy attached to it - it is simply a series of Test matches.

It runs from 2026 to 2028 and features the world's top 12 teams, ensuring more competitive matches ahead of the 2029 World Cup in Australia.

"There's no tournament to win, so we can be very patient about how we go about things," said England head coach John Mitchell.

England beat Australia and New Zealand but drew with Canada in their three home fixtures, before suffering back-to-back defeats in Canada.

Next up for the Red Roses is the United States in New Jersey.

A competitive autumn is not something England have been used to.

Can England end their losing run?

That is a question very few would have predicted last year, when the Red Roses lifted the Women's Rugby World Cup.

Sport moves quickly, and back-to-back defeats by Canada mean John Mitchell's side need a win - and fast.

The United States, in theory, should provide a straightforward test.

This should be good.
