Wales went down 19-0 to England at Cross Keys limiting last year’s world cup runners up to just three tries.

Scotland, on the other hand, were on the wrong end of a hiding as they were hammered 53-3 by France.

The French ladies ran in nine tries as they lay down a marker to the rest of the competition.
