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

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

Pep Guardiola claimed there is no pressure on Erling Haaland to score more goals after the Norwegian’s double sank Young Boys on Wednesday cebo
Haaland struck twice in the second half as the holders claimed a hard-fought 3-1 win over the Swiss side in their Champions League Group G encounter on the artificial surface at Bern’s Wankdorf Stadium cebo
The game had been in the balance after Meschack Elia had cancelled out Switzerland international Manuel Akanji’s opener with a superb strike cebo
Haaland’s goals were his first in six Champions League games while his effort against Brighton on Saturday ended a three-game scoreless run – relative barren spells for a player who plundered 52 in total last season cebo
Guardiola said: “There is the impression after last season that he has to score seven goals every single game cebo
That is impossible cebo
“But he is scoring a lot of goals and if people want him to fail because he doesn’t score 50 goals it doesn’t matter cebo
He is always there cebo
“The second goal was really good and he had other chances cebo
The important thing is to create them cebo
“Maybe in the right moment of the season he will be there, cebo better than now, but he has already scored a lot of goals and we are really pleased cebo
“I’ve told him many times I don’t judge him for scoring goals, although I know he wants to score goals cebo
He has the desire to improve and I don’t have doubts about that cebo
”City’s victory, sealed with a Haaland penalty and a clever late finish, was their third in succession and took them a step closer to the knockout stages cebo
They could reach the last-16 for an 11th consecutive season with a follow-up win over the same opposition at the Etihad Stadium in a fortnight cebo
“The result was good and in general it was a really good performance,” said Guardiola, whose side had 26 attempts on goal cebo
“We could have scored more goals but is the important thing is to create the chances cebo
”Guardiola added that Phil Foden did not play because of a “small problem” while Julian Alvarez, who had a goal disallowed after coming off the bench, was not able to play the full game cebo
Young Boys coach Raphael Wicky felt his side gave a good account of themselves cebo
He said: “That courage and passion, we can be proud of what the team delivered, but you need a perfect game against a team like this cebo
We couldn’t do it cebo
“Perfect means taking your chances and not conceding from set-pieces cebo
We’re disappointed with the result, but we can be proud of the team’s performance cebo
