Anna Davies scored five tries as a rampant England side swept to a record 82-0 win over Wales at Headingley.The result also means Stuart Barrow's side have now scored 248 unanswered points in four Tests since their 20-6 defeat by New Zealand in the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2022.
Wigan Warriors winger Davies' effort saw her eclipse the mark for the most individual tries in a game for the Lionesses, previously shared by Emily Rudge and Leah Burke on four. Olivia Wood's fifth-minute try set the tone for the hosts, with debutant Amelia Brown scoring a hat-trick and second row Paige Travis and Eboni Partington also crossing twice.
There were also tries for Erin Stott, Katie Mottershead and Hollie-Mae Dodd, who was making her first appearance for her country since joining Canberra Raiders in 2023.
