Leeds Rhinos’ Georgia Roche bagged a brace of tries and clubmates Caitlin Beevers and Fran Goldthorp also crossed in England Women’s 36-10 win over France at Warrington on Saturday.

England didn’t have it all their own way in a scrappy contest and France’s tough-tackling centre Laureanne Biville was named player of the match.

But, despite a series of handling errors, the hosts controlled most of the game and ran in seven tries, four of which were converted by York City Knights’ former Castleford Tigers full-back Tara Stanley.

Rhinos’ Australian-born captain Courtney Winfield-Hill was involved in three of the tries on her England debut and survived an injury scare, getting up to play on after a long stoppage in the second half.

Keara Bennett also won her first cap, off the bench, but her Leeds teammates Zoe Hornby and Dannielle Anderson did not feature in the 17.

France dominated the opening quarter of an hour, but England broke the deadlock after 18 minutes when Roche’s pass found Hollie Dodd and some neat footwork and acceleration took her over the line.

Winfield-Hill was involved in the next two tries, scored back to back on 27 and 30 minutes.
