There were some slack kick-off receptions and Mitchell believed his team, who were only seven points up until Maud Muir crossed after 34 minutes in the wake of Alev Kelter's yellow, could have been more clinical in the first half.

During Kelter's 10-minute stint in the sin-bin, Maud Muir shunted over from close range before Kildunne crossed at the end of a sweeping coast-to-coast move.

Locks Abbie Ward and Morwenna Talling continue in the second row, with Hannah Botterman, Amy Cokayne and Maud Muir making up the front row.

After the match Mitchell highlighted the performances of prop Maud Muir, Kabeya and his captain Zoe Aldcroft, who also praised try-scorer Muir.

"Maud is a fantastic player," Aldcroft said.
