Packer dropped as Kabeya starts for England in Six Nations title decider

Sadia Kabeya replaces Marlie Packer in the England back row for their Women's Six Nations title decider against France in Bordeaux on Sunday.

Packer, 36, has been enjoying a renaissance in the absence of Kabeya, scoring four tries against Italy last week to cap a campaign that warrants player of the tournament contention, but World Cup winner Kabeya has been favoured by Mitchell for the all-important Grand Slam decider.
