England dominated Wales 62-24 at Ashton Gate, marking third straight win and perfect record. Meg Jones and Marlie Packer each hit double‑try haul, while Maddie Feaunati, debutant Millie David and others added. The Red Roses broke early, Feaunati’s break scoring within six minutes, setting tone.

Wales fought back, reducing deficit to 12-7 through scrum‑half Keira Bevan, but England’s firepower surged. Packer’s try and a solo effort by centre Jones earned bonus point, while Claudia Moloney‑MacDonald and Jess Breach added late touches. England’s 10‑try tally underlined dominance and kept them 100% in tournament.

The win snaps Wales’ hopes of a top‑four finish and confirms England’s path to title. With only 62 points conceded in three games, the Red Roses remain unbeaten and sit atop standings. The match also drew a sold‑out crowd, reinforcing growing support for women’s rugby in the UK.

England’s coach John Mitchell praised squad’s character, noting that a 12‑month turnaround from last season’s struggles is evident. The victory keeps the team 100% ahead of France, Ireland, and Italy in the Six Nations table, setting a strong foundation as they prepare for the final fixture against Italy in Parma.
