  1. England 48-12 Wales

    The good news for Wales is they're back up to 15.

  2. Get Involved

    Is England's dominance a little bit bad for women's rugby?

    Great skill, commitment and entertainment by both teams. Is England being ahead a problem? No, it's just their time. When I was growing up in the 1960s and 70s the men's game was all Wales. Keep going ladies! (Meg Jones is wonderful!)

  3. Wales struggling in defence

    Wales didn't fold enough, there were too many players parked on one side.

    Try - England 48-12 Wales

    Jess breach con Zoe Harrison (63 mins)

    Brilliant again from England! They're making Wales pay for that yellow card. Holly Aitchison chucks a fine throw out wide to replacement Jess Breach who sprints over in the corner and moves up to third in England's all-time try-scoring list.

  5. Get Involved

    I’m disappointed in this England team. Apart from when they play France, they shouldn’t be conceding any tries to Ireland, Wales , Scotland or Ireland.

  6. England 41-12 Wales

    Wales put England under some pressure but some sloppy ball control lets the hosts off the hook. England replacement Zoe Harrison then wins a kicking battle to march her side up the pitch.

  7. 'Wales too slow'

    England 41-12 Wales

    Siwan Lillicrap
    Former Wales captain on BBC Two

    It is frustrating there's so much promise. This is the difference, it's how lightning quick England's ball is compared to Wales. There is no options to punch through because the ball is so slow.

    Alisha was doing a spin class the day before she gave birth.

    She is no ordinary woman!

    And it's great she makes her comeback where she plays her club rugby.

  9. England 41-12 Wales

    Clever rugby from Wales who make the game scrappy to eat up some clock.

    Keira Bevan kicks a clearance into acres of space behind the England back line.

    I feel sorry for Catherine Richards. Only been about eight minutes on the field. I wish her a speedy recovery.

    To come back to play rugby in that short space of time is incredible.

    It is incredible and inspiring from Alisha Joyce.

  12. England 41-12 Wales

    Catherine Richards' match is over. Eight minutes after coming on she limps off with an injury.

    Wales' injury crisis continues.

    BBC Sport Wales rugby reporter at Ashton Gate

    Catherine Richards has only just come on, but she has gone down in a lot of pain after that tackle on England's Moloney-MacDonald.

    A reminder that Wales are already without Lisa Neumann, Hannah Dallavalle, Carys Cox and Kate Williams.

  14. England 41-12 Wales

    Nice moment, Alisha Joyce comes on as a replacement for Wales 151 days after giving birth.

  15. England 41-12 Wales

    Caryl James
    Former Wales wing on BBC Radio Cymru

    Great work from the winger Moloney-Macdonald there.

    This is England taking the game away from Wales, and they are taking advantage of the fact Wales are down to 14.

    It is crucial that Wales stick together now.

  16. 'Wales have to be careful'

    England 41-12 Wales

    Former Wales captain on BBC Two

    Wales have got to be careful here, they're down to 14 players and they've lost a really important defensive player in Kayleigh Powell.

    Oh goody, England have even more space to play with now.

    This could be a painful 10 minutes for Wales.

  18. Get Involved

    The distribution from Aitchison, Rowlands and Jones is just so good. World class

    Katy Daley-Mclean

    It's really smart tactical play, go where Wales have just lost a player. Meg Jones can make those passes all day. Brilliant finish.

  20. try

    Try - England 41-12 Wales

    Claudia Moloney-MacDonald (54 mins)

    And England punish Wales immediately! They do everything right, taking a line-out on one side of the pitch and shipping the ball over to the other side in double-quick time where Claudia Moloney-MacDonald is the spare player and is able to leap over in the corner.

    It's a quality finish from the winger too who keeps her feet up in the air, avoiding going into touch.
