England star fullback Ellie Kirdinne was removed from the Women’s Six Nations decision maker on Saturday.
England is once again the dominant force in the tournament, partly thanks to Kildun’s performance player of the year. However, they need to close the title without her as she will fight a hamstring injury.
“Kildynn could actually play, but her hamstrings are something we want to do right,” England coach John Mitchell said.
“We don’t want to lose Ellie as a result of stretching it even further, which means we can get our team back.
“Erie is back in June (preparing for the World Cup). There should be no issues there.”
She was replaced by Emma Singh, but in the fly half, there is a change in Zoe Harrison nods to Holly Hitchson.
England XV against France:
Hannah Botterman, Lark Atkin Davis, Maud Muir, Morwena Torring, Abby Ward, Zoe Aldcroft, Maddie Finatty, Alex Matthews, Natasha Hunt, Zoe Harrison, Claudia MacDonald, Teana Heard, Harried, Megan Jones, Abby Doe
Alternatives: Amy Cocaine, Kelsey Clifford, Sarah Bern, Rosie Garrigan, Abi Burton, Lucy Packer, Holly Hitchson, Helena Roland
