In England's 12-try thrashing of Italy in the Women's Six Nations on Sunday, Abby Dow scored four tries and Jess Breach added a hat-trick. With three rounds remaining, the bonus-point victory moves the defending champions to the top of the standings on point differential.
Full-back In addition to right wing Breach and center Dow, player-of-the-match prop Sarah Bern made an impact all over the field while Claudia MacDonald contributed two tries. MacDonald's sudden exit prevented her from completing a hat-trick, adding to England's injury concerns. MacDonald would become the 20th member of the Red Roses to be unavailable if she were to be ruled out.
