World player of the year Ellie Kildunne has been named in a near full-strength team as England take on France in Saturday’s final warm-up game before the start of the Women’s Rugby World Cup later this month.

Kildunne missed England’s 43-42 Six Nations win over the same opponents in April with a leg injury.

Elsewhere, Zoe Harrison retains her spot at fly-half from last weekend’s 97-7 thrashing of Spain.

There are 11 changes to the starting line-up from that victory with Abby Dow coming onto the wing and Hannah Botterman, Amy Cokayne and Maud Muir in the front row.

Captain Zoe Aldcroft returns in the back row with Sadia Kabeya and Alex Matthews completing the back row.

England: Kildunne; Dow, Jones, Heard, Breach; Harrison, Hunt; Botterman, Cokayne, Muir, Talling, Ward, Aldcroft, Kabeya, Matthews

Replacements: Atkin-Davies, Clifford, Bern, Galligan, Feaunati, L Packer, Rowland, Sing
