England proved far too strong for France in Toulouse, scoring eight tries in a dominant 42-0 victory.

Wigan winger Anna Davies crossed either side of half-time, while fellow international debutant Georgie Hetherington touched down in the first half.

Amy Hardcastle, Zoe Harris, Paige Travis, Eboni Partington and Emily Rudge were England's other try-scorers as they continued their undefeated record against France in women's internationals.

Teenager Isabel Rowe, another player handed her debut, converted five of England's eight scores.

This match was the first part of a Test double-header at Stade Ernest-Wallon, with England's men facing their French counterparts at 17:00 BST.
