    Who else was it going to be? Hannah Botterman comes on, wins scrums, carries hard and wins turnovers.

    She is the ultimate bench player. The impact she brings is phenomenal.

    Botterman is trilingual, she speaks English, she speaks scrum and she speaks turnover.

  5. England 19-12 New Zealand

    Hannah Botterman accepts the high fives of her teammates. Big turnover on Liana Mikaele-Tu'u.

    We still get goosebump moments when we think of how far women's rugby has come. And this is certainly one of them.

  7. England 19-12 New Zealand

    Huge tackle from England captain Meg Jones, driving her New Zealand counterpart Georgia Ponsonby a few metres back and dumping her down. Jones roars.

    But New Zealand still have it.

    The crowd is so loud, the atmosphere is just amazing! I love this game so much bro.

  10. England 19-12 New Zealand

    A let off for New Zealand as England's line-out is penalised - not straight is the call.

    New Zealand win their own set play before Kaipo Olsen-Baker lumbers forward, dragging a train of defenders with her.

    Just when New Zealand think they've spotted a window on the right, Claudia Moloney-MacDonald pops up with the interception!

    England are showing they can transition from defence into attack quicker than any other side.

  14. England 19-12 New Zealand

    Oh my, this match is relentless! New Zealand's Ayesha Leti-I'iga shoves off a defender to burst into England's 22, the Allianz Stadium opening up in front of her.

    She flings the ball left to Maia Joseph but it's later lost on the floor, Jess Breach clearing out Hannah King.

    Opportunity missed for the visitors.

    It's almost as though England needed that try there to remember "oh, we can play!"

  16. England 19-12 New Zealand

    England's tails are well and truly up! Quick hands once again to find Ellie Kildunne and Jess Breach on the right, but the latter is forced into touch.

  17. Kat Merchant

    They're so fantastic at what they do! That to me looked just like a training move.

    It isn't a scrum, mate - it's a bulldozer!

    RAW POWER!

    England's scrum charges forward at pace, gaining several metres before Lucy Packer flicks the pass out to Jess Breach on the right wing. Her 58th try in an England shirt.

    This game from a set-piece point of view has only just begun.
