England teams over the years have not had a happy time at Cardiff Arms Park and Wales did their best to make this an uncomfortable afternoon. On Grand National day the hosts gave their opponents a run for their money in the first half before the floodgates opened after the interval and it is England who are galloping toward another grand slam.

Abby Dow, who broke her leg in this fixture last year, scored the best of their nine tries, a spectacular effort in the last move before the break. England, that World Cup final defeat last autumn a distant memory, are in a ruthless mood. They have scored 31 tries in this Six Nations and Ireland will not look forward to their visit to Musgrave Park next Saturday.
