World player of the year Ellie Kildunne has been named in a near full-strength team as England take on France in Saturday's final warm-up game before the start of the Women's Rugby World Cup later this month.

Kildunne missed England's 43-42 Six Nations win over the same opponents in April with a leg injury.

Elsewhere, Zoe Harrison retains her spot at fly-half from last weekend's 97-7 thrashing of Spain.

There are 11 changes to the starting line-up from that victory with Abby Dow coming onto the wing and Hannah Botterman, Amy Cokayne and Maud Muir in the front row.

Captain Zoe Aldcroft returns at blind-side flanker with Sadia Kabeya and Alex Matthews completing the back row.

England: Kildunne; Dow, Jones, Heard, Breach; Harrison, Hunt; Botterman, Cokayne, Muir, Talling, Ward, Aldcroft, Kabeya, Matthews

Replacements: Atkin-Davies, Clifford, Bern, Galligan, Feaunati, L Packer, Rowland, Sing
