International & Sevens — Sunday 26 April 2026

Sunday 26 April 2026

Match of the Day

England's historic Red Roses performance saw them rack up ten tries in a comprehensive 62-24 demolition of Wales at Ashton Gate.

The Red Roses delivered a commanding display of dominance, continuing their 100% start to the Women's Six Nations and securing a fifth consecutive Triple Crown. The monumental effort was headlined by England captain Meg Jones, who scored twice in the first half, demonstrating her attacking flair by both crossing on the left flank and splashing over on the right.

While the opening exchanges saw Wales hit back through players like Keira Bevan and Kelsey Jones, England quickly established an insurmountable lead. The second half saw the Red Roses overwhelmed, with further tries bagged by Amy Cokayne, Claudia Moloney-MacDonald, and Jess Breach, before Marlie Packer added a second score.

It was not a flawless performance, highlighted by loose passes and nine penalties against them, but the sheer firepower was undeniable. Despite the struggles, the match culminated in a furious late effort from the Welsh side. Captain Bethan Lewis and Seren Lockwood scored tries, making a final tally for Wales that earned them a crucial bonus point. Maud Muir sealed the tenth try for the Red Roses, cementing the record-extending 36th consecutive Test victory for the squad.

Talking Point
The scale of England's dominance was staggering, cementing a massive 36th consecutive Test win and placing them firmly on the path to a record eight consecutive Six Nations titles.
