England see off USA to return to winning ways
England's Red Roses return to winning ways, but without entirely vanquishing doubts over their position at the top of the women's game, as they see off the United States.
England's women's rugby team, the Red Roses, bounced back to winning form with a hard-fought 55-12 victory over the United States in New Jersey. Despite the win, the team remains uncertain about their standing among the elite of women's rugby. Claudia Moloney-MacDonald was the standout performer, scoring four tries, while Holly Aitchison played a crucial role in the team's play-making.
However, early set-piece struggles and a controversial try being ruled out due to obstruction highlighted areas for improvement. The United States, who were once routed 69-7 in the previous match, demonstrated resilience, with Kate Zackary scoring a late try to secure the win. Head coach John Mitchell will need to focus on set-piece solidity and attacking fluency ahead of the Women's Six Nations title defense in April.
