York, UK – The UK rose to the top of the women’s Six Nations table with a 38-5 victory over Italy on Sunday.
After dominance in the first half, England struggled to maintain momentum in the second term, recording only one last attempt.
However, with a bonus point victory secured, Britain’s pursuit of the seventh straight title was a victory start.
It was also the year when England was about to win the Home World Cup, and manager John Mitchell gave valuable playing time to some of the less experienced players, including three look-sleeves of Claudia McDonald Miavenner and Emmasing.
However, the dominant forward packs, including veteran veterans such as Marley Packer, Zoe Allcroft, Amy Cokayne and Maud Muir, have set up a platform for the backline to shine in the opening exchange.
Benner scored three minutes later as England advanced relatively easily, swinging the ball from right to left and swinging the ball around over Italian defense.
Emily Scarat played in the 117th England Test, added three minutes later, two seconds later, and the home side was on track.
Rosie Garrigan was awarded a 20-minute penalty after Italy illegally disrupted the Rolling Mall. Laura Gurioli was sent to Sin Bin for this action. It was already in the afternoon that we forgot for our visitors.
Holly Aitchison then turned on the perfect Class A crossfield kick and found McDonald in Acre space. It seemed England wanted to showcase their true abilities.
Italy eventually went deep into half of England and applied its own pressure. Mitchell was not noticed that Italy had scored through Francesca Sgorbini when his defense was first subjected to sustained pressure.
Italy showed more resilience to start the second half and made England work for success.
Visitors built up pressure, tested England’s defenses, and home side discipline was also sometimes sacrificed to them.
Mitchell may have welcomed the challenges and questions asked on his side, given the tougher challenges will continue this year.
Similarly, just as England pushed and investigated the offense, they were unable to find a way through the Italian defenses, which appeared to be completely different outfits after the break.
England appeared to have broken a late deadlock in under ten minutes to play, but TMO got a forward pass in the build-up of Sadia Kabey’s attempt.
Fullbacksing ultimately found a way as England moved the ball to the left to score the first point in the half.
The try concluded an overwhelming second half, but before England visited Wales next Saturday, they did what they needed to pursue the crown of six more nations.
