SOMERSET'S Danielle Waterman has retained her England place as the Red Roses prepare to take on France in the Women's Six Nations on Saturday.
England head coach Simon Middleton has made seven changes, two positional, to the side which won 43-8 against Scotland - a game which saw Waterman score two tries.

Waterman moves from the right wing to the left, an indication of the versatility of the former Minehead Barbarians player, who has been most accustomed to playing at full-back.
She is set to win her 81st cap against France, a match which could well determine the outcome of this year's championship.
Both England and France have won all three of their Six Nations games played up to this point, while Ireland - who travel to face England on March 16 - are in third place with two wins and a loss.
The Red Roses beat France 20-3 in the semi-final of the Women’s Rugby World Cup last year, but Waterman suffered a concussion during the game, meaning she missed the final against New Zealand.
Saturday's match kicks off at 8pm at the Stade des Alpes, Grenoble, with live coverage on Sky Sports.
