England's Jones and Bern Seek Improvement After Convincing Win

Despite a resounding 33-12 victory over Ireland in the Women's Six Nations, England's Megan Jones and Sarah Bern acknowledged that there is still room for improvement. The win marked England's 34th consecutive Test victory, with two tries from Bern and one each from Amy Cockayne, Jess Breach, and Ellie Kildunne. In their first match since the World Cup final, England's performance was not flawless, but they managed to secure a bonus-point win in front of a record-breaking crowd of 77,120 at Allianz Stadium. Jones, who led the team for the first time in the absence of World Cup-winning captain Zoe Stratford, accepted that the team was not at its best, citing nerves and the challenge of adapting to a new campaign. Bern also recognized that the team's new combination of players and influx of young talent would take time to gel. While celebrating certain aspects of their performance, both players acknowledged the need for reflection and improvement, but were heartened by the electric atmosphere in the stadium, which helped propel them to victory.
