England Claim Convincing Win Over Ireland, But Room for Improvement Remains

England's Megan Jones and Sarah Bern acknowledged that there is still work to be done, despite their side's 33-12 victory over Ireland in the Women's Six Nations. The win marked England's 34th consecutive Test victory, with tries from Bern, Amy Cockayne, Jess Breach, and Ellie Kildunne. However, Jones accepted that the team's performance was not flawless, citing nerves at the start of a major campaign following their World Cup triumph. Jones, who led the team for the first time in the absence of Zoe Stratford, expressed pride in her teammates and acknowledged that there would be areas for improvement. Bern also recognized that the new-look side, featuring several young players, would take time to gel. Despite this, the atmosphere at the Allianz Stadium, with a record crowd of 77,120, helped drive the team to a bonus-point win.
