England win Under 20 Women's Nations Cup-rugby

The England Women's Under 20 side ran in 18 unanswered tries in the final against the USA, hammering home their superiority to win 110-0 and retain the Nations Cup crown at Brunel University.

Sam Bree ran in an impressive six tries, taking her to 11 tries for the tournament, while Nicola Hoole, Sarah McKenna and Rose Fong all grabbed braces. Fly half Claire Garner also enjoyed an impressive afternoon with the boot, striking 10 conversions.

"I am so proud of the girls and the way they have played throughout this tournament," said England head coach Giselle Mather.

"They have trained hard and they set themselves a target of not being complacent against the USA having already beaten them last week in the pool games. They certainly weren't complacent.

"The players moved the ball around extremely well today, they kept the ball alive and delivered everything that was asked of them. Sam Bree scored six tries, outstripping the defence, but it was the pace of the whole team throughout this tournament that kept us moving forward all the time.

"It's wonderful to have won the Nations Cup, and to do it for a second successive year is very special for every member of this Under 20s squad."

In the match for third and fourth Canada were victorious over Wales with a hard fought 12-10 win.
