England extended their dominant run with a 62-24 victory over Wales at a record-breaking Bristol crowd, scoring 10 tries in another emphatic Six Nations win. John Mitchell's side maintain maximum points from three matches and remain on course for an unprecedented eighth consecutive title, with their unbeaten streak now at 36 Tests.

Despite the comfortable margin, attack coach Emily Scarratt admitted the dressing room felt "muted" after the game. Wales scored four tries, including two in the final 10 minutes, exposing lapses in England's concentration and discipline - the visitors conceded nine penalties and were caught out by Wales' line-out moves. Improvements will be needed before facing title rivals France in round five.

The growing gulf between England and their rivals stems from their early investment in professional contracts, introduced in 2019 - two years before other nations followed. Captain Meg Jones has challenged other unions to match their resources. Former Scotland captain Lisa Martin predicts it will take five years before France or Ireland can challenge England's dominance, warning the tournament's predictability risks losing fan interest.
