England`s women`s rugby team showcased their dominance in the 2025 Guinness Women`s Six Nations with a commanding 38-5 victory over Italy in York. The match began explosively, with Mia Venner crossing the try line within the first five minutes, setting the tone for the Red Roses` performance. Shortly thereafter, Emily Scarratt added another try, further solidifying England`s early lead.

By the 28th minute, England had already secured a bonus point, thanks to tries from Claudia MacDonald and Amy Cokayne.
