Marlie Packer hailed the dawn of a new era after England eased past Australia 42-7 in their WXV opener in Wellington cebo
It was the first opportunity for the Red Roses to play on New Zealand soil since their heartbreaking World Cup final defeat to the Black Ferns a year ago, and they were comfortable, scoring six tries in all cebo
The launch of WXV – a new international competition designed to revolutionise the women’s rugby landscape – gives the world’s number one side a chance to cement their status at the top of the world rankings, in spite of falling just short last year cebo
On their way to the final, they had knocked off the Wallaroos 41-5, and almost exactly 12 months on, it was an identical margin of victory, although Packer fell just short of the hat-trick she managed in that quarter-final cebo

“It was a great victory cebo
The Aussies gave us a really good game,” Packer said cebo
“We talk about courage and being courageous and we’re going to grow into this tournament and today was the start of that cebo
“It’s a fantastic competition and we’re all excited to be here playing the top teams in the world, coming off the World Cup last year and keeping the legacy going in New Zealand cebo
“I know the girls are really enjoying it over here cebo
The camp is feeling really good we’re a new-look England side and enjoying the way we are playing cebo
“We have new coaching staff and we’re pleased that John Mitchell is here now and we’re looking to keep growing and building into next week’s game cebo

But each time they seemed as though they might turn it into points, someone would get back to make the vital intervention cebo
England, by contrast, were much more clinical, Alex Matthews and Jess Breach with the steal and then break to put Ella Wyrwas in to score, Aitchison converted from out wide cebo
Try number three came after a big Packer charge saw Annabelle Codey sent to the sin-bin for an upright tackle cebo
Against 14, England were never going to be stopped, the captain delivering the punishment from a rolling maul cebo
That was soon followed by another, Breach with one of the easiest finishes off her international career as she coasted over untouched on the left after Australia had again struggled to contain a rolling maul cebo
Aitchison converted both and England led 28-0 at half-time cebo
Botterman was denied her second try shortly after half-time, but a rolling maul a few minutes later allowing Packer to double up, Aitchison again converting cebo

While it did not pay immediate dividends, a quick tap penalty from Layne Morgan saw replacement Ashley Marsters burst over from close range to get the Wallaroos’ first try cebo
Carys Dallinger converted from out wide cebo
Any hopes of a comeback were quickly squashed cebo
England got back into the Australian 22 and former sevens standout Meg Jones showed her quick feet to dart through for the Red Roses’ sixth try cebo
To add insult to injury, Codey put in a needless late hit on Wyrwas in the build-up, earning her second yellow card as a result and leaving Australia with 14 for the final quarter cebo
That should have been the cue for the floodgates to open, but England were unusually sloppy in the final 20 minutes, and did well to avoid conceding again themselves at the end after Sarah Beckett was also sent to the sin-bin as England conceded four penalties in one passage of play cebo
New head coach John Mitchell joined up with the team on Thursday after his role with Japan’s men’s team ended at the Rugby World Cup pool stage, and watched England romp to an impressive win cebo

Moeen Ali believes former England coach Chris Silverwood will be keen to “prove a point” with his Sri Lanka side in Thursday’s World Cup clash in Bengaluru cebo
Silverwood was England’s fast bowling coach they won the tournament in 2019 and expected to be the man in charge of the title defence when he was chosen to succeed Trevor Bayliss in the top job cebo
But his reign came to an ignominious end when he was sacked after the 2021/22 Ashes debacle, with England subsequently opting to split the job cebo between red and white-ball specialists cebo
Silverwood made a quick return to international cricket with Sri Lanka and faces his old charges in a game that both nations need to win to maintain any realistic chance of reaching the knockout stages cebo
England have already been bested by one of their own in India, with former batter Jonathan Trott guiding Afghanistan to a shock win in Delhi, and are aware of the extra layer of intrigue created by Silverwood’s appearance in the opposition dugout cebo
“I’m sure he’s got that motivation to do well in this game, definitely,” said Moeen cebo
“They’ve only won once, so they’ll want to get on a winning run as well and he’ll be thinking more about that and his own team cebo
“But I’m sure deep down, like everybody else, he’ll be trying to prove a point or whatever it is and that will motivate him a little bit more cebo
“He’s a good coach and a nice guy, and I enjoyed (working with) him cebo
But he’s not the one going out to bat and bowl, it’s his team cebo
He’ll be trying to get them ready cebo
”I'm sure deep down, like everybody else, he'll be trying to prove a pointMoeen Ali on Chris SilverwoodMoeen is heading into the game with some some additional motivation of his own, having been confined to a watching brief since the opening match of the tournament cebo
Despite being the squad’s nominated vice-captain, the 36-year-old was dropped after the nine-wicket thrashing by New Zealand and has now missed three in a row cebo
Things have hardly improved in his absence and, after England’s heaviest ever ODI defeat at the hands of South Africa last time out, he is odds-on to return in a city he once called home during his IPL stint with Royal Challengers Bangalore cebo
“It’s been very frustrating, obviously, because you want to play and make some sort of difference,” he said of his stint on the bench cebo
“It’s difficult when you’re not winning and then when you’re not playing on top of that, it’s hard cebo
I’m hoping to play and get a chance to perform cebo
“It’s one of those grounds where scoring is quick and batting deep makes a big difference cebo
If I get the nod, then I’m really looking forward to playing cebo
I’ve played franchise cricket here and it’s a great place to play, a great venue cebo
I’m be pretty excited cebo
”England radically altered the balance of their side against the Proteas, banishing their core of all-rounders in favour of their top six batters and five specialist bowlers cebo
A 229-run thrashing is likely to see that formula banished cebo
Three changes are possible, with Reece Topley having flown home with a broken finger and Gus Atkinson and David Willey both vulnerable cebo
Chris Woakes and Liam Livingstone would be favourites to return alongside Moeen cebo
Topley’s injury replacement, Brydon Carse, has arrived in the country and trained for the first time on Wednesday afternoon cebo
