**Breach Hat-Trick Powers England to Dominant Victory Over New Zealand** In a thrilling encounter, England triumphed over New Zealand with a score of 49-31, showcasing their formidable form in the WXV 1 tournament. The match featured a standout performance from Breach, who scored a hat-trick, while Dow and Kildunne each added two tries to the tally. The question looms once again: is there anything that can halt the Red Roses in their current momentum? This inquiry echoes sentiments from two years ago when New Zealand ended England's impressive 30-match winning streak in the Rugby World Cup final. That defeat marked the last time England faced a loss, and they are now on a quest for consecutive victories, having secured their 19th win against the Black Ferns. New Zealand entered the match eager to redeem themselves after suffering back-to-back defeats. Their first setback came against England just three weeks prior at Twickenham, followed by a surprising loss to Ireland the previous Sunday. As England continues to build on their success, the rugby world watches closely to see if anyone can challenge their dominance.

The Wallaroos secured a thrilling 33-26 victory over South Africa in Cape Town, propelling them into the WXV2 final against unbeaten Scotland next week. The match featured a dramatic finish, with Ash Marsters making a crucial last-minute steal that helped seal the win for the Australian women's team. The game showcased outstanding performances, particularly from wingers Desiree Miller and record-breaking Maya Stewart, who played pivotal roles in the Wallaroos' success. With this victory, Australia is now poised to compete for the WXV2 title at the same venue against Scotland, who have yet to lose in the tournament.
