England's Jones and Bern Seek Improvement After Convincing Win

England's women's rugby team, led by Megan Jones, began their Six Nations campaign with a 33-12 victory over Ireland, but acknowledged there is room for improvement. Despite securing a bonus-point win in front of a record crowd of 77,120 at Allianz Stadium, Jones conceded that the team was not at its best. The England captain attributed this to nerves following their World Cup win and the introduction of new players. Sarah Bern, who scored two tries, echoed Jones' sentiments, stating that the team's new combination of players was always unlikely to gel immediately. Bern highlighted the electric atmosphere in the stadium as a key factor in securing the win, but acknowledged that there were aspects of their performance that required reflection and improvement.
