Summary

England showcased their dominance over the USA in the WXV Global Series, extending their remarkable 35-year winning streak against the Eagles. The last time the USA triumphed over the Red Roses was in the 1991 Rugby World Cup, with England winning all 22 matches since then.

The match, held at the Sports Illustrated Stadium in New Jersey, saw England bounce back after recent defeats to Canada. Despite the USA entering with five consecutive wins, including victories over Wales and Ireland, they struggled to contain England's attack.

Key highlights from the match included:

  • Claudia Moloney-MacDonald scoring an impressive four tries, proving her worth after being dropped in the previous game.
  • A strong second-half performance from England’s front row pack, notably through players like Maud Muir.

Though England's performance was not without flaws, their ability to convert opportunities into points set them apart. They led 17-7 at halftime, bolstered by tries from Meg Jones and others.

The USA's Hope Rogers managed to score, edging closer to the American women’s all-time points record, but it wasn't enough. England's relentless attack continued with Mia Venner also crossing the line.

The match concluded with the USA feeling the sting of defeat, especially as co-captain Georgie Perris-Redding suffered an injury. Looking ahead, the USA will seek redemption at the 2027 Pacific Four tournament, while England aims to build on their unbeaten streak in the upcoming Women’s Six Nations starting in April.
