England 89-0 United States: Hosts end victorious autumn campaign in dominant style



England: 29

Tries: Cornborough, Thompson, Davies, Infante, Tuima, Aldcroft, Rowland, Bern, Powell, Aitchison, and Harrison.

The United States: 0

England ended their victorious autumn campaign with a 15-try win over the United States.

The world number ones have beaten New Zealand and Canada in the last month and have won 18 in a row.

There were signs of inexperience from the England XV early on.

The Red Roses ran rampant at Sixways after the break.

England have scored over 200 points in four games this autumn.

The World Cup will begin in October, but England will first be focused on winning a third Women's Six Nations title in a row.

The man shines for England.

The United States were in for a test when Vickii Cornborough crossed after a minute of play.

The visitors were not helped by the fact that England's full-back, called one of the best in the world by head coach Simon Middleton, did not make life any easier.

The back seemed to repel defenders throughout the match and her attack started early as she scored a stunning solo try, shrugging off four defenders and covering half the pitch to cross in the fifth minute.

England was determined to keep up their fast pace in attack and defence.

It felt as if they had an extra player on the field and inevitably Lydia Thompson was the next one to score, marking her 50th cap.

England's lack of leadership in defence started to show with the exclusion of two big names from an experimental squad.

As the United States managed to hold on to the ball, there was some concern, but as soon as England got the ball, they were unstoppable.

The only thing more reliable than England's set-piece is the fact that they have improved it.

More to come.
