Marlie Packer hailed the dawn of a new era after England eased past Australia 42-7 in their WXV opener in Wellington soccer
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 soccer
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 soccer
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 soccer

“It was a great victory soccer
The Aussies gave us a really good game,” Packer said soccer
“We talk about courage and being courageous and we’re going to grow into this tournament and today was the start of that soccer
“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 soccer
“I know the girls are really enjoying it over here soccer
The camp is feeling really good we’re a new-look England side and enjoying the way we are playing soccer
“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 soccer
”England made the perfect start, with Hannah Botterman crashing over from close range after just five minutes from a clever lineout move soccer

England stormed to victory in WXV opening match (AFP via Getty Images)Australia were looking very smooth with ball in hand, regularly opening up space out wide soccer
But each time they seemed as though they might turn it into points, someone would get back to make the vital intervention soccer
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 soccer
Try number three came after a big Packer charge saw Annabelle Codey sent to the sin-bin for an upright tackle soccer
Against 14, England were never going to be stopped, the captain delivering the punishment from a rolling maul soccer
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 soccer
Aitchison converted both and England led 28-0 at half-time soccer
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 soccer
Marlie Packer inspired England to victory against Australia in new WXV competititon (AFP via Getty Images)Successive penalties against Packer allowed the Wallaroos to set up a lineout five metres out soccer
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 soccer
Carys Dallinger converted from out wide soccer
Any hopes of a comeback were quickly squashed soccer
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 soccer
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 soccer
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 soccer
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 soccer
All matches will be broadcast live so back your nation on ITV X soccer
