9 for Georgie

Scrum-half Georgie Rozario played a good half hour to pick up her 9th cap as England Women won convincingly against Italy on Saturday. She has been rewarded with her 10th bench position for the full England squad on Saturday to take on Wales.

The match was in doubt due to weather and individuals were advised not to travel to Old Deer Park, home of London Welsh, but the pitch conditions were perfect even if a bit cold.

England had secured the match by half time running in 7 of their 11 tries taking the score to 45 - 3 at the turn around. With winger Fiona Pocock, who plays her club matches for Richmond picking up 3 tries..

England Head Coach, Gary Street, said: "This was a good start by my young team. We played some very good rugby at times, and although we have got things to work on, I am more than happy with this victory.

"To give Italy credit, they played well and kept asking questions of us all the time. They made us work really hard. Wales next week though will be another step-up for us."

The winners of next week's match will probably being favourites to win the competition. England have won the grand slam for the last 3 years.

Earlier England A side ran in 5 tries and kept a clean sheet with a 29 - 0 win over Spain.
