England's Kildunne wins on club return in 14-try PWR opener
It hasn't even been a month since the Red Roses triumphed over Canada in the World Cup final at Twickenham. But three of the brightest stars from that side were on show in what was an amazing advert for the PWR, including world player of the year Kildunne. The England full-back wasn't as central to Quins' success as she so often has been. But her name brought up the loudest cheer as the teams were read out before the game and there were some jinking trademark runs from deep, as well as a neat pass to assist a vital try for Lauren Torley to score in the corner and give the hosts the lead for the first time in the match. Club and country team-mate Lucy Packer was as dependable as ever at scrum-half. Loughborough flanker Kabeya played an instrumental part in the game's opening try, charging through three challenges before she was eventually taken down, leaving Bo Westcombe-Evans free to score unchallenged. She then got her name on the scoresheet in the second half to cap a fine return for the visitors. Loughborough captain Daisy Hibbert-Jones described Kabeya as "vital" to the team when speaking to BBC Sport. "She's a physical freak. Both sides of the ball, she's a hugely attacking threat, she's got power, she's got pace to get her through those line breaks. "And defensively she's an absolute physical warrior. She's someone I love to play alongside and would hate to play against."
