Abby Dow grabbed four tries as England scored a resounding win over Italy
Four tries from Abby Dow helped England to a convincing bonus-point 68-5 victory over Italy in Sunday’s TikTok Women’s Six Nations match at Franklin’s Gardens.
Two tries apiece from wingers Jessica Breach and Claudia MacDonald, plus one from Dow helped ensure the Red Roses secured the try-scoring bonus point in the first half and led 27-5 at half-time.
Sara Tounesi’s unconverted score had seen Italy within touching distance of the hosts early on and ensured they would avoid being nilled as was the case when the teams last met.
But that was the only time they troubled the scoreboard, with Breach and Dow completing their hat-tricks in the second half, along with skipper Marlie Packer adding two and Tatyana Heard crossing in the rout which made it two wins from two for Simon Middleton’s side.
