England's Jones and Bern Identify Areas for Improvement After Convincing Win

Megan Jones and Sarah Bern acknowledged that England still have room for improvement, despite their convincing 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. Despite the bonus-point win in front of a record-breaking crowd of 77,120 at Allianz Stadium, Jones admitted that the team was not at its best. Jones, who led the team for the first time in the absence of World Cup-winning captain Zoe Stratford, stated that nerves were expected going into the campaign. Bern also recognized that the new-look side, featuring several young players, was unlikely to perform flawlessly from the start. The atmosphere in the stadium was praised by both players, who acknowledged that it helped the team secure the win.
