Full-back misses Six Nations clash with hamstring injury
Emma Sing to start at Twickenham on Saturday

England remain confident Ellie Kildunne will be fit for this summer's Rugby World Cup buildup after the joint-top try scorer in this year's women's Six Nations was ruled out of Saturday's grand slam decider due to a hamstring injury.

Kildunne, the World Rugby women's player of the year, has featured in all four games of England's campaign in their attempt to win a seventh successive title, but will be replaced by Emma Sing at full-back for the match at Twickenham against France, who have also won four out of four.
