Ellie Kildunne scored an eight-minute hat-trick as the Red Roses destroyed Wales in Cardiff in the Women’s Six Nations
Ellie Kildunne claimed a Red Roses hat-trick as England proved far too strong for Wales in the Women’s Six Nations, winning 67-12 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
The hosts started superbly and hit the lead through a try by prop Jenni Scoble, but their bright opening unravelled pretty quickly thereafter.
In a devastating eight-minute spell, the Red Roses struck for three tries through No 8 Maddie Feaunati, centre Megan Jones and tighthead Sarah Bern, while a fourth was added through Feaunati again eight minutes later.
Into the second-half, full-back Kildunne marked the occasion of her 50th cap with an eight-minute hat-trick before wing Abby Dow (two) and replacement back-row Abi Burton (two) scored further tries either side of a Wales score via back-row Kate Williams.
Wales – Tries: Scoble (6), Williams (59). Cons: Bevan (7).
Red Roses – Tries: Feaunati (11, 27), Jones (13), Bern (19), Kildunne (48, 54, 56), Dow (68, 77), Burton (73, 80+1). Cons: Harrison (12, 14, 20, 49, 74, 80+2).
England fly-half Zoe Harrison also landed six conversions with the boot in an all-round superb display by the playmaker.
