England still on course for title defence after Wales drubbing

ENGLAND’S defence of their Six Nations title continued with a 52-0 victory over Wales at Twickenham Stoop.

Poppy Cleall and Ellie Kildunne ran in two tries each while Abigail Dow, Leanne Riley, Rachael Burford and Marlie Packer also crossed in a match watched by Prince Harry.

England led 26-0 at half-time and had the bonus point sewn up within half an hour with lock Abbie Scott among the key performers.

Up in Glasgow, a Women’s Six Nations record crowd of 2,792 watched France thrash their hosts 26-3.

Scotland had gone up courtesy of a Sarah Law penalty, but after that it was one-way traffic.
