English women put 50 points plus on their Welsh counterparts.
First 20 minutes Wales were in it, but the gulf in quality obviously told after that.

Wales were the better team in the first half, but couldn't make the pressure tell, whereas England had 4 chances, and took 3 tries.

2nd half was excellent from England. Some brutal and beautiful rugby.

Even more important we get the W tomorrow with saints picking up a winning BP

Saints win means - if other results go their way - they could sneak into the top 4. I am wondering whether any premiership playoff contender has had a negative points difference before? The other fact is that they could well end up first for points scored but last for points conceded which boggles the mind.

McCall had a big smile on his face at the end no wonder, a mix of second teamers and colts, yes with some experience mixed in, had pushed 4th in the premiership all the way.

While they rightly get a lot of stick for their past actions, I feel it is often overlooked how well coached and how consistent they have been for 10+ years at this point.

I go to Sarries each season and their set up is excellent: there’s always a lot of youngsters playing games of rugby behind the main stand.
You can have the most expensive players around but they’ve still got to be coached well: look at Chelsea and Tottenham for examples of that.
I didn’t like going to watch Tigers in Watford but their ground in Barnett is one I like.
As for the artificial pitch: if you look at the way it’s made, laid and tested to make it as safe as possible for the players then you have to give credit where it’s due.
Yesterday v Saints they had some academy lads playing who would probably get into most( not ours) match day 23s.
Sale too look a better side now Ford is playing.
