England will go into their next game at the home of the Leicester Tigers with a 100-per-cent record in the Women’s Six Nations following a 10-try win over Wales on Saturday.

Following away wins over Scotland (57-5) and Italy (74-0), the Red Roses beat Wales 58-5 in front of a record 14,000 crowd at Gloucester’s Kingsholm and welcome Ireland to Mattioli Woods Welford Road in their next game on Sunday, April 24 (12.00pm).

Tries from forwards Lark Davies and Abbie Ward, then wing Jess Breach gave England a 19-0 lead at half-time and added the bonus-point score with a second from Davies soon after the break.

Breach added her second, followed by tries from forwards Sarah Bern and Alex Matthews before Wales found their way to the tryline.

But England were still not finished, with Shaunagh Brown, captain Sarah Hunter and Leicestershire’s Emily Scarratt – in her 99th Test appearance – all on the mark in the closing stages for the TikTok Women's Six Nations leaders who are now unbeaten in 21 consecutive Tests.
