England have run in six tries in a 42-7 WXV 1 win in Wellington over Australia, extending their winning run over the Wallaroos

Australia prevented another drive only to fall victim to a blindside sucker-punch, as Wyrwas offloaded to Jess Breach for England’s fourth. Aitchson was impeccable by foot and named player of the match, converting from both wings of Sky Stadium as well as two central efforts to put England 28-0 up at the break.

A heavy defeat was predictable: England had dominated Australia in their previous six Tests, including a 36-point belting in last year’s World Cup quarter-final.
