Flyhalf Zoe Harrison will start for England against France as one of four changes made by coach John Mitchell to his side for their Women’s Rugby World Cup semi-final in Bristol on Saturday.

Harrison was among the replacements in the 40-8 quarter-final victory over Scotland and along with lock Abbie Ward has been promoted from the bench.

Fullback Ellie Kildunne and prop Hannah Botterman also come into the starting XV having not featured against the Scots.

Abby Dow, who scored her 50th international try in the quarter-finals, and Jess Breach are the two wingers, while the centre pairing remains Tatyana Heard and Megan Jones. Natasha Hunt is at scrumhalf.
