line out

After coming on as a replacement in the Rugby World Cup final win over Australia in 2003, he claimed a ball at the back of the line-out in the decisive passage of play, setting a platform for scrum-half Matt Dawson to snipe and Jonny Wilkinson to kick the match-winning drop-goal.

The Red Roses had a chance at victory with one last line-out - their most potent weapon all tournament, but lost the throw as the clock ticked into the red.

"I love it when, particularly in a line-out or a maul, you can really get stuck into them and you can see it in their eyes when you start taking their options away."

Amy Cokayne trucked over at the back of a driven line-out and Aitchison darted in as England coasted to victory in the second half.

Lana Skeldon's throw spilled out of the line-out and England gratefully gobbled up the scraps, with Galligan going close before Talling, with Sadia Kabeya bound on to provide some extra horsepower, crossed close to the posts to make it 14-3.
