England's Jones and Bern Seek Improvement After Convincing Win

England's Megan Jones and Sarah Bern acknowledged that their team has room for improvement, despite kicking off their Women's Six Nations campaign with a decisive 33-12 victory over Ireland. The win marked England's 34th consecutive Test victory, with Bern scoring two tries and Amy Cockayne, Jess Breach, and Ellie Kildunne each adding one. Despite achieving a bonus-point win in front of a record-breaking crowd of 77,120 at Allianz Stadium, Jones conceded that England did not perform at their best. Jones, who was leading the team for the first time in the absence of World Cup-winning captain Zoe Stratford, attributed the nerves to the high expectations following their World Cup success. Bern also recognized that the new-look team, featuring several young players, would take time to gel. While celebrating certain aspects of their performance, both players agreed that there were areas that required reflection and improvement.
