England overcame early defensive vulnerabilities and external doubts to secure a bonus-point victory, with captain Meg Jones emphasizing the team's mental resilience and commitment to proving critics wrong. The Red Roses achieved this historic win while managing significant squad disruptions, including four players absent due to pregnancy and over a dozen sidelined by injury, with only six starters from last year's World Cup final.
