England ran riot to clinch a record victory over New Zealand in the first of two colossal Test matches between the sides.

Simon Harrison’s outfit thrived behind Zoe Harrison’s excellent disply as the No 1 ranked side in the world outclassed the world champions.

Tries from Abbie Ward (2), Ellie Kildunne, Lark Davies, Holly Aitchison, Abbie Dow and Harrison added to the Black Ferns’ misery.

Aitchison was filling in for the injured Emily Scarratt, making an impressive debut after starring at the Olympics in sevens.

“We’ve got them next week as well. We can’t get complacent. We need to look what we can do better for next week,” Harrison told BBC Sport.

“Today we were really looking at ourselves. Even in the Six Nations we’ve been looking towards the World Cup.”

While Emily Scarratt insists the victory will make next week’s contest even more intriguing: “Unbelievable. You could see that England really wanted to come out here and make a point. The Black Ferns were undercooked, it’s their first game back in a long time. It’s going to be a cracker next week.”
