Match Report

England


England’s strength was far too much in Leeds as they inflicted a record defeat on Wales.

An error from Wales gave England the perfect scoring position and they didn’t waste it. From a scrum, Liv Wood ran over for England’s opening try on five minutes. Isabel Rowe couldn’t convert.

The second try came on 12 minutes. Anna Davies dived over on the wing with again the kick not landed.

Wales had the chance for a try back soon after that, but an offside call stopped their momentum. England took advantage and went straight back on the attack and Paige Travis scored under the sticks. Rowe, the creator of the try, converted to put the score onto 14-0.

Then, after winning a repeat set, England scored their fourth, with Travis getting on the end of a good passing move for her second try. Rowe converted again.

Davies then scored her second try of the game, diving over in the corner to put the score onto 24-0.

Wales looked like they had a try back on 29 minutes. Jasmine Gibbons, who’d only been on the field, dived over in the corner under pressure, but Australian referee James Vella sent it upstairs to video referee Marcus Griffiths as no try. He was in agreement, as an arm was underneath the ball, and Wales were still looking for their first try in England.

And once again, Wales couldn’t deal with the resulting set. Eboni Partington diving over for England’s sixth try with Rowe kicking the goal.

It didn’t get any better for Wales. Davies dived over for her hat-trick try just before half-time. Rowe didn’t convert and England went into the break 34-0.

England scored again from their first attack after the interval. Amelia Brown the scorer, with Rowe’s kick hitting the post.

From kick-off, it was Davies again and she ran down the wing to score her fourth try of the game. Rowe’s conversion again hit the post, but this time slipped over the bar.

There was no respite for Wales as twice more, they scored from kick-off. The first from debutant Erin Stott, then Katie Mottershead. Rowe converted the second to put the score onto 54-0.

Wales lasted another six minutes before England scored again, again from Davies, with Brown soon following her over.

Tries from Hollie Mae Dodd and Brown with two goals from Rowe took the score over the record Wales men’s side defeat.

Wales did look for a try back to reduce the deficit a bit, but England soon turned defence into attack as Partington raced away for her second try to bring up 80 points. Rowe converted just before the hooter.
