Isabel Rowe turned in a starring performance as England proved too strong for Wales in a women’s rugby league international at The Gnoll in Neath.

Wigan half-back Rowe, 18, scored one of England’s 11 tries and converted nine of them as Stuart Barrow’s side won convincingly in their first international since being thrashed 90-4 by Australia in Las Vegas in March.

Barrow named five debutants in his starting line-up, and two of them – Jenna Foubister and Molly Jones – scored tries in the opening 10 minutes.

Anna Davies – who scored five times when England earned their biggest-ever win by beating Wales 82-0 at Headingley last November – then went over, and a score from Lucy Murray, a third debutant, had the visitors 22-0 up at the interval.

Eva Hunter, also making her debut, scored twice after half-time, with Rowe getting her try.

Bella Sykes added to the tally with her first try for England, with Eboni Partington and Georgia Wilson the other scorers.
