The England team dominate women's rugby but a strong French side nesrly beatt ehm thisw ekend.

Here isa very high quality BBC uk highlights video - I hope non UK members can see it.

It gets very intense , if you look at 2 minutes 10 seconds a French player drives her boot studs straight  into t eh English woman's shoulder as tehy are fighting for the ball in a ruck - I think she got a yellow

It was a great match, far better than the encounter in Grenoble last weekend.    Great that both were covered live on mainstream TV.   This weekend was a  great advert for womens rugby and the 'afters and spats' were very exciting.
