Women’s Six Nations: Red Roses continue ‘systematic dominance’


Listen Later

Former England international Katy Daley-McClean and ex-Black Fern Ruby Tui join Sara Orchard to review the Red Roses’ 61-33 thrashing of Italy in Parma.

John Harrison’s reigning world champions made it 37 consecutive wins across all competitions with a dominant display in their fourth bonus-point victory of this year’s competition.

That’s now 38 successive Six Nations wins, setting up what should be an epic grand finale in Bordeaux against France next weekend.

The panel discuss the entertainment value of games such as this, whether winning the Six Nations would really be more impressive than the World Cup – as England’s defence coach claimed pre-match, and the debutants who came on for the Roses.
