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

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

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 Zealand coach Ian Foster has revealed that he feels a couple of subtle tweaks to his squad for Saturday’s Rugby World Cup final will be enough to match South Africa’s “bomb squad” cebo
The Springboks have loaded up on bench forward might for the showpiece Paris decider, including seven pack replacements in their 23 cebo
The seven/one bench split was a gambit first employed in South Africa’s strong warm-up win over New Zealand at Twickenham in August, with the replacement pack brought on together and immediately win a scrum penalty cebo
But rather than matching their opponents and including extra forwards among their bench eight, the All Blacks have kept faith with a traditional five/three combination cebo
Coach Foster has made a couple of personnel changes among those five replacement forwards, though, with veteran lock Sam Whitelock dropped to the bench and tighthead prop Nepo Laulala brought in at Fletcher Newell’s expense cebo
All Blacks props Nepo Laulala, Tamaiti Williams and Tyrel Lomax will be key to the final (Getty Images)And Foster feels his side are fully equipped to defuse any potential bench impact cebo
“It is certainly a response [to the Springboks’ bench],” Foster confirmed of his tweaks cebo
“Not so much a response to the power, but more to the techniques we expect to have to deal with cebo
“Nepo is a very strong scrummager and very experienced cebo
He’s trained so well and has probably been disappointed that he didn’t play the last two cebo
It is a great occasion for him cebo
“He’s alongside Samisoni [Taukei’aho], with the likes of Sam Whitelock on the bench, we really believe and have got a lot of confidence in that group coming on cebo
”The final should present a fascinating clash of styles, with Handre Pollard’s selection at fly half ahead of Manie Libbok another indicator of South Africa’s preference for a tighter game cebo
That contrasts with the All Blacks’ ability to keep the ball alive and play wide, ambitious rugby cebo
“That’s what I love about the game,” Foster said cebo
“People play different ways and try different things cebo
[South Africa] have got their way that they think suits their strength cebo
“The [seven/one split] doesn’t really change anything in what we do cebo
It doesn’t impact our game and the way we want to play it cebo
Our strategy suits us, their strategy suits them cebo
It makes it interesting on Saturday night cebo
