  1. England 19-12 New Zealand

    Huge tackle from England captain Meg Jones, driving her New Zealand counterpart Georgia Ponsonby a few metres back and dumping her down. Jones roars.

    But New Zealand still have it.

  4. England 19-12 New Zealand

    A let off for New Zealand as England's line-out is penalised - not straight is the call.

    New Zealand win their own set play before Kaipo Olsen-Baker lumbers forward, dragging a train of defenders with her.

    Just when New Zealand think they've spotted a window on the right, Claudia Moloney-MacDonald pops up with the interception!

    England are showing they can transition from defence into attack quicker than any other side.

  8. England 19-12 New Zealand

    Oh my, this match is relentless! New Zealand's Ayesha Leti-I'iga shoves off a defender to burst into England's 22, the Allianz Stadium opening up in front of her.

    She flings the ball left to Maia Joseph but it's later lost on the floor, Jess Breach clearing out Hannah King.

    Opportunity missed for the visitors.

    It's almost as though England needed that try there to remember "oh, we can play!"

  10. England 19-12 New Zealand

    England's tails are well and truly up! Quick hands once again to find Ellie Kildunne and Jess Breach on the right, but the latter is forced into touch.

    They're so fantastic at what they do! That to me looked just like a training move.

    It isn't a scrum, mate - it's a bulldozer!

    RAW POWER!

    This game from a set-piece point of view has only just begun.

  15. England 14-12 New Zealand

    England's replacements are immediately into the action. A line-out will be followed by a scrum.
