Kelly Arbey has made a habit of scoring against England. Having made her mark with a hat-trick of tries for France Under-20s against the Red Roses a year ago, the jet-heeled young wing added to her record with a spectacular solo try for the senior team at Twickenham in April, holding off two defenders from a standing start before speeding down the line.
The Red Roses responded within minutes but the effort was a catalyst for a late resurgence from Les Bleues in the Six Nations decider. “We were under pressure at that point of the game, so it helped us get back into the match and gave the team a boost,” says Arbey. “I’m very proud of it.”
