## Key points

- Meg Jones wants England to make their attack less predictable.
- England scored nine tries against the United States.
- The Red Roses aim for a ninth straight Six Nations title.

## Summary

England captain Meg Jones says the Red Roses need to broaden and vary their attack as other teams close the gap at the top of women’s rugby. Her comments follow England’s first defeats in 41 matches, against Canada earlier this month, and a narrow escape against New Zealand in September.

England responded with a nine-try win over the United States in New Jersey, with scores from across the team showing the range of threats Jones wants them to offer. The result eased concerns about England’s world ranking, while the side now look towards defending their Rugby World Cup title and pursuing a ninth consecutive Women’s Six Nations crown, beginning against Wales on 10 April.
