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
”England made the perfect start, with Hannah Botterman crashing over from close range after just five minutes from a clever lineout move 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

Michael Cheika has made three changes to the team for the final match of his polarising tenure as Argentina coach on Friday evening cebo
Los Pumas take on England in the ‘bronze final’ of the Rugby World Cup at the Stade de France, the third/fourth place play-off that no one wants to be in, although Argentina have been making all the right noises about the game being important this week cebo
“Finishing with a medal hanging round our necks is important cebo
Being third or being fourth is not the same,” has been the mantra of the side during training in Paris cebo
With that in mind, Cheika has opted for minimal changes from the semi-final defeat to the All Blacks cebo
Whereas England have made eight alterations to the starting XV, with a number of potentially retiring players given a final runout, Los Pumas have opted for just three switches cebo
The sole change in the pack comes in the second row as Pedro Rubiolo will win his 10th cap in place of Tomas Lavanini, while Tomas Cubelli is preferred to Gonzalo Bertranou at scrum half and Jeronimo de la Fuente is drafted into the centres at the expense of Santiago Chocobares cebo
The bench is unchanged from the semi-final, meaning Lavanini, Bertranou and Chocobares drop out of the matchday 23 entirely cebo
Julian Montoya captains the side from hooker in his 95th Argentina appearance, while Matias Moroni will win his 80th Test cap if he comes off the bench in Paris cebo
Argentina legend Felipe Contepomi will take over as Pumas coach after the World Cup (AFP via Getty Images)The match will be Cheika’s final clash in charge, with Felipe Contepomi taking the reins after the World Cup cebo
On paper, the Australian’s 18-month tenure has been a relative success with a first-ever win over the All Blacks in New Zealand in the summer of 2022 and a joint best-ever World Cup finish of third, should they beat England on Friday cebo
However, they have largely failed to back up those positive moments, with plenty of disappointments in cebo between, and Cheika has often failed to connect with Los Pumas fans cebo
He will hope to end on a high however, as they look to match the result from the 2007 World Cup of finishing third and avenge the 27-10 defeat to 14-man England from the pool stage last month cebo
