Shaunagh Brown will miss England's opening match of the women's Rugby World Cup against Fiji after testing positive for COVID-19, the team said on Monday.

Prop Brown, who will have to stay in isolation for seven days, is the second England player to test positive for the virus after roommate Sadia Kabeya, who has completed her isolation period.

There were no further positive cases after players and staff in New Zealand were tested on Friday, the team said.

England play their opener against Fiji on Saturday.
