Match Report – England Women 36 – 10 France Women

Amy Hardcastle and Georgia Roche both crossed twice for the hosts as they maintained their unbeaten record against France; Hollie Dodd, Caitlin Beevers and Fran Goldthorp also crossed for tries at the Halliwell Jones Stadium

Georgia Roche scored two tries for England in the win over France

Two tries apiece from Amy Hardcastle and Georgia Roche helped set England Women on their way to a 36-10 victory over France in the first match of Saturday’s international double-header in Warrington.

Hollie Dodd, Caitlin Beevers and centre Hardcastle all crossed as England led 16-4 at half-time, with Cristina Song Puche replying for the visitors, who had made most of the early running just before the break.

France’s cause was not helped by Elodie Pacull being sin-binned for a late tackle early in the second half and although they were able to get on the board again through Mailys Borak, Roche’s double, another from Hardcastle and Fran Goldthorp’s late score put the seal on the win.
