England have named an unchanged side for their Women's Rugby World Cup opener against the United States in Sunderland on Friday. Red Roses boss John Mitchell has kept faith with the same starting 15 from the 40-6 warm-up victory over France, their second of two warm-up fixtures which took place earlier this month.

The 29-year-old is set to make her first World Cup appearance after making the switch to the 15-a-side format.
