Ellie Kildunne scores quickfire hat-trick in England’s 11-try rout of Wales

• Women’s Six Nations: Wales 12-67 England
• Feaunati, Dow and Burton all score twice

Ellie Kildunne scored a whirlwind hat-trick in the space of nine minutes on her 50th cap as England thumped Wales in front of a record crowd in Cardiff. The full-back, who won her first cap in 2017, has now scored 39 tries for the Red Roses and at 25 years old there is a lot more to come from the World Rugby player of the year.

Kildunne, who has lost only two games in an England shirt, had been kept largely quiet in the first half which inspired an impressive performance in the second half where she sliced through the Wales defence like butter. The England head coach John Mitchell said: “She is a breath of fresh air, she is very, very talented.
