England put up cricket score in hammering of United States
By PA
England Women finished a successful autumn by scoring 15 tries in a 89-0 hammering of the United States in Worcester.
Ranked number one in the world, England have beaten New Zealand twice and Canada in the past month and the victory over the US extended their winning run to 18 matches.
It was an inexperienced XV that took on the United States, but one that will add to England’s hopes of lifting a third successive Women’s Six Nations title in April.
Lydia Thompson, Lark Davies and Sarah Bern scored two tries each while Zoe Aldcroft also touched down in her first match as captain of the Red Roses.

Shame no Welsh players made this XV.

Competition structure clearly a problem in both countries.
IMO too little too late in both places.
Really, Australia should have 2 teams in SR or whatever comp they are in from 2026 onwards.
Call them North and South or whatever you like, but one team playing most of it's matches out of Brisbane/Queensland, and the other playing most of their matches out of Sydney/NSW.
Combined these two make up 80-90% of the players and supporters (and crowds)
Get real.
Add Western Australia (Force) to Queensland because they have some cultural similarities. Let 20% of games be played in Perth.
Down South, let the team play 20% of games in Canberra, despite the fact that crowds in Brumby-land are tiny.
If North and South don't suit, call the teams the Maroons and the Chardonnays, or if that doesn't suit, the Cane Toads and the Cockroaches.
Just do something to avoid a slow and agonising death
