Match report

Sarah Rendell’s match report has landed so I’ll take my leave.

England were good enough, without being brilliant. And Australia held on to avoid a shock group stage exit.

It’s wasn’t pretty. Both teams gave away plenty of ball. But it had its moments.

Thanks for joining me. Catch you tomorrow.

England’s Morwenna Talling to BBC Two:

This crowd was incredible. Australia came out firing. But it’s just amazing. The atmosphere here now [is amazing].

Women’s rugby, there’s 30,000 people here.

We get presents all the time now. It’s a privilege and an honour to be part of it.
