Head coach Sean Lynn commended Wales' tenacity despite a heavy defeat, emphasizing the need for improvement to compete with the world’s elite teams. In a match against England, who are pursuing a Grand Slam, Wales managed to secure a try bonus-point with a late score from Seren Lockwood in the 80th minute, marking their highest points tally of 24 against the Red Roses in 24 Six Nations encounters.

Lynn remarked, "Twelve months ago we would've flopped and fallen away, but to show that character to come back and score two tries and get a bonus point, I can't fault the character." Despite the disappointment of conceding 62 points, he acknowledged the clinical nature of the England side.

Key highlights from the match include:

• Wales executed effective set piece attacks, with tries from Keira Bevan and Kelsey Jones showcasing their tactical improvement.
• Lynn noted, "We've got to be a little bit more clever now in those red zones..." to enhance their scoring opportunities.
• A total of 40 missed tackles and a costly yellow card for Kayleigh Powell in the 52nd minute hindered Wales’ efforts.

England captain, Meg Jones, recognized the challenge posed by Wales, stating, "They love coming to the breakdown, they hit really hard..." This sentiment was echoed by John Mitchell, the England head coach, who praised Wales for their organization and development.

While Wales faced setbacks, the match highlighted their resilience and potential for growth in the competitive landscape of women's rugby.
