In a stunning display of rugby prowess, Jess Breach scored a hat-trick to lead England to a monumental 92-3 victory over Samoa in the Women's Rugby World Cup. This win not only marks England's largest margin of victory in the tournament's history but also cements their status as one of the dominant forces in women's rugby.

Record-Breaking Performance

England's previous record was an 82-0 victory over Kazakhstan in 2010. This match surpassed that, with England scoring 92 points, the highest in their World Cup history. Fly-half Helena Rowland contributed significantly, scoring 27 points and breaking the record for individual points in a Women's World Cup game.

Dominant First Half

The Red Roses were unstoppable in the first half, scoring seven tries. Centre Megan Jones was particularly effective, crossing the line twice. Other key players like Sarah Bern, Maddie Feaunati, Lark Atkin-Davies, and Lucy Packer also made significant contributions.

Samoa's Struggle

Samoa, a fully amateur side, managed to score only a single penalty through Harmony Vatau. Despite their efforts, they were overwhelmed by England's clinical and dominant performance.

Looking Ahead

This victory extends England's winning streak to 29 games, with their last defeat being in the 2022 World Cup final against New Zealand. The team now looks forward to the quarter-finals with high hopes of continuing their impressive run.
