Is there anything that can stop the Red Roses in their current form? It is a question that was asked two years ago before New Zealand answered it in the Rugby World Cup final, where they ended England’s 30-match winning streak to lift the trophy. That game was the last time England lost and they are building a consecutive victory run again, adding a 19th with an impressive 49-31 win over the Black Ferns in the WXV 1, which means the question is being posed again.
The Black Ferns had a point to prove after back-to-back defeats. The first came at the hands of the Red Roses, who put one over their rivals three weeks ago at Twickenham, and Ireland caused a huge upset with a narrow victory last Sunday.
