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

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

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
