England crushes US in WXV rugby as Moloney-MacDonald runs in 4 tries
England secured a dominant 55-12 victory over the United States in WXV women's rugby on Friday, with winger Claudia Moloney-MacDonald contributing four of their nine tries in the match. The United States had shown confidence in recent weeks with five consecutive wins over South Africa, Ireland, Wales, and Italy, marking their best run in 20 years.
However, England's defense proved too strong, turning a 17-7 halftime lead into a commanding 27-7 advantage in the second half. Mia Venner, Bryony Field, Maddie Feaunati, and Sadia Kabeya all scored tries for England, which were all converted by Emma Sing or Zoe Harrison. Captain Meg Jones praised her team's resilience, stating that they became "unstoppable" once they got into their rhythm.
