England hammer Wales in front of record crowd

England scored eight tries to hammer Wales at Ashton Gate in front of a record crowd of 19,705 for a Red Roses game outside of Twickenham.

After the break Ellie Kildunne and Abby Dow scored tries for England before Keira Bevan finally got over for Wales.

Lock Rosie Galligan responded and Kildunne grabbed a brilliant second.

Victory means the Red Roses, who return to the top of the table after France's win over Scotland earlier on Saturday, remain on track to secure a third successive Grand Slam and a sixth successive Six Nations title.

England play Scotland next on 13 April, while Wales travel to Ireland looking to claim their first win.
