Wing shares ‘special’ feeling after hat-trick against Samoa
Hosts face Australia next in Women’s Rugby World Cup
Jess Breach says scoring 50 tries for England is a “phenomenal” emotion and it would “mean everything” to the wing to win her 50th cap in her home county.
The 27-year-old took her Red Roses try tally to 52 with a hat-trick in England’s 14-try win against Samoa at the Rugby World Cup on Saturday. Breach is just the fifth Red Rose to hit 50 tries for England and she reached the milestone on her 49th cap. She could win her 50th against Australia on Saturday in Brighton.
She said: “Fifty tries is a phenomenal feeling but I think the forwards did a big job in the middle. The inside backs were able to release me to get over the white line. It means everything: there is so much history within the Red Roses and to be able to pass 50 tries is incredible. I am sure Ellie [Kildunne] and Abby [Dow] will be there soon as well. It is really nice we are all still playing in our prime and our future is about how many tries we can score.
