Stuart Barrow has stressed that England Women's Test against Wales was a useful exercise despite a second blowout result of the year.
England scored 11 tries in a 60-0 demolition of a Welsh side ranked ninth in the world to back up their 64-0 victory over France in April. The Lionesses have not been tested since losing to New Zealand at the semi-final stage of last year's World Cup but Barrow is not concerned about the lack of games against the heavyweights of the sport. 'Thankfully the RFL have promised us an Ashes series in 2025, the year before the World Cup,' he said.
Hardcastle soon made it a double, the powerful 34-year-old storming through a yawning gap after taking Roche's pass from a scrum play on the 20. When Hoyle gleefully accepted an offload from Jodie Cunningham to score under the posts, Wales could have been forgiven for allowing their heads to drop. But they began to fight fire with fire and had an opening when Vicky Molyneux was sin-binned in her final international outing.
