Red Roses display impressive attacking impressive variety in win

For Wales, the questions will grow louder. This was an improvement on the 59-3 hammering from last year at Cardiff Arms Park, and they will be encouraged by their effort to keep England from trickling over the 50-point territory. You cannot fault this side’s ambition, intent or their level of commitment. But the sobering reality is this is a side in its third year of professionalism and the benefits are not yet obvious on the pitch.

For all their patient phase play and tentative spells of possession, they were repeatedly snuffed out by their English foes and fell short in the pressure moments. Keira Bevan restored some pride for the visitors when she meandered her way over the whitewash for a consolation second-half score, but the Red Roses kept turning the screw. “We’ve got to be more clinical, to show more composure and calmness, to trust our processes,” conceded Ioan Cunningham, the Wales head coach. “We probably pulled the trigger a bit too soon and that’s something to look at.”
