England coach John Mitchell has warned his team “can’t afford to get bored with the basics” after they won their 31st Six Nations game in a row on Saturday.
The Red Roses are the dominant side in women’s Rugby. They have won six consecutive Six Nations titles and have the opportunity to win their first World Cup when they host the tournament this summer.
World Rugby women’s player of the year Ellie Kildunne scored an eight-minute hat trick as Mitchell’s team rallied to run in 11 tries in a 67-12 hammering, even though Wales had the lead in Saturday’s contest in Cardiff.
Mitchell told the BBC, “We did not start particularly well, but we grew into the second half and built some good pressure.”
“I am rather happy with how we handled Wales’ treatment of us.
“I think we’re a side that can’t afford to get bored with the basics, because when our basics are poor that lets us down and brings the opposition into the game.”
England travel to face Ireland in Cork in their next Six Nations fixture on April 12.
