England’s Women’s Six Nations dominance continues with record-breaking win over Wales

England’s Women’s Six Nations team is on fire under the leadership of coach John Mitchell, as they secured a dominant 46-10 victory over Wales in front of a record crowd at Ashton Gate. With 94 points scored in their first two games, the Red Roses are showing no signs of slowing down.

Mitchell’s strategy of rotating players and giving opportunities to impress ahead of the 2025 World Cup is paying off, with seven changes to the starting lineup against Wales showcasing the team’s depth and versatility. The fresh center combination of Tatyana Heard and Megan Jones proved to be a dynamic force, troubling the Welsh defense with their power and speed.

Jones, who stepped up in the absence of the injured Helena Rowland, showcased her ability to thrive in Mitchell’s fast-paced attacking game, making crucial plays throughout the match. Lock Rosie Galligan was named player of the match for her disruptive performance in the line-out and her try-scoring contribution.

The team’s depth was further highlighted by the performances of Zoe Aldcroft, Abbie Ward, Holly Aitchison, and Connie Powell, who all made significant impacts on the game. Mitchell’s emphasis on creating competition within the squad is clearly paying off, as players continue to push each other to excel.

With a third consecutive Grand Slam and sixth Six Nations title in sight, England’s Women’s Six Nations team is not only dominating the present but also building a strong foundation for the future. The Red Roses’ strength in depth and versatility make them a formidable force in women’s rugby, and fans can expect more thrilling performances as the tournament progresses.
