Records tumble as England women thrash Wales 82-0 in Headingley Test
A young and inexperienced England team showed encouraging signs for the future as they demolished Wales 82-0 in today’s women’s international at AMT Headingley.
Injuries and Woman of Steel Georgia Hetherington’s wedding meant England were without some of their biggest names, but the next generation - led by Wigan Warriors half-back Izzy Rowe on her 18th birthday - stepped up in impressive style. It was the Lionesses’ biggest-ever win and their fourth successive victory - two against Wales and the others versus France - without conceding a point. They have rattled up 248 in the process.
