England Run in Eight to Demolish Wales in Women Six Nation
If last week’s game against Italy offered a poor start to John’s tenure as coach of the Red Roses, this performance underscored the team’s claim to be the most dominant team on the pitch.
Ugo Monye, a former England men’s national team winger, last week declared the Roses the best team in all cross-gender sports. And with their continued dominance across the continent – they have now won 25 games six times in a row through Few can offer a counter-argument. However, it took a perfect exhibition to correct the mistakes from the first half.
They do it here. He made seven changes in the team that smack Italy. One, at fly-half, made a real difference. Her speed burned Centers Tatyana Heard and the newly released Megan Jones, both punching holes in almost every load. With a pack offering forward football and pace across wide channels, England proved too much for Wales and bagged eight tries in front of 19,705 fans, the most for a Roses away game.
“We have progressed throughout the week,” said England captain Marlie Pakker. “We highlight ourselves, on our positive intentions. We want to put an exciting brand of rugby on the pitch.”He praised his team, but still talked about how it could be done superior.
The first attempt IS group selection. Within eight minutes, he saw an overlap forming on his right. The ball slides through his hands until he can catch it. The leading winger burst around the last defender before unleashing his right foot. He approached the line himself, but proceeded wisely. Maud Muir, in the short term, was supported to get Britain forward.
His 50th Test, was the closest point to a short ball behind the work of a clean linesman. After not found the first kick, it looked like the most likely outcome.
Liverpool stepped up and spent enough time in England’s red zone to make a play out of it. However, a combination of tenacious defence and sluggish play by the visitors meant they were unable to convert territory into points. Transmissions are thrown forward or intercepted. Someone caught a free Hannah Jones with a double jump. And when the English forwards thundered at the fiasco, they were caught and punished, as happened when the English Jones gathered in his number 22, released a dummy pass, jumped onto the field and kicked his leg.
In the blink of an eye, the eccentric Natasha Hunt was looking for the ball on the Welsh line, where she connected with the actioning Hanna Botterman, who made a tackle to score. Lark Atkin-Davies put the finishing touch with a rolling-maul try after the line-out to kick shed 24-3 for good.
England started the second half as they finished the first. After passing through the penalty area, he went through the penalty area, acting as if he was not on the front line. Having come close twice, Ellie Kildunne desperately tried to score in the corner.
