Marlie Packer hailed the dawn of a new era after England eased past Australia 42-7 in their WXV opener in Wellington cebo
It was the first opportunity for the Red Roses to play on New Zealand soil since their heartbreaking World Cup final defeat to the Black Ferns a year ago, and they were comfortable, scoring six tries in all cebo
The launch of WXV – a new international competition designed to revolutionise the women’s rugby landscape – gives the world’s number one side a chance to cement their status at the top of the world rankings, in spite of falling just short last year cebo
On their way to the final, they had knocked off the Wallaroos 41-5, and almost exactly 12 months on, it was an identical margin of victory, although Packer fell just short of the hat-trick she managed in that quarter-final cebo

“It was a great victory cebo
The Aussies gave us a really good game,” Packer said cebo
“We talk about courage and being courageous and we’re going to grow into this tournament and today was the start of that cebo

But each time they seemed as though they might turn it into points, someone would get back to make the vital intervention cebo
England, by contrast, were much more clinical, Alex Matthews and Jess Breach with the steal and then break to put Ella Wyrwas in to score, Aitchison converted from out wide cebo
Try number three came after a big Packer charge saw Annabelle Codey sent to the sin-bin for an upright tackle cebo
Against 14, England were never going to be stopped, the captain delivering the punishment from a rolling maul cebo

Aitchison converted both and England led 28-0 at half-time cebo
Botterman was denied her second try shortly after half-time, but a rolling maul a few minutes later allowing Packer to double up, Aitchison again converting cebo

While it did not pay immediate dividends, a quick tap penalty from Layne Morgan saw replacement Ashley Marsters burst over from close range to get the Wallaroos’ first try cebo

Any hopes of a comeback were quickly squashed cebo
England got back into the Australian 22 and former sevens standout Meg Jones showed her quick feet to dart through for the Red Roses’ sixth try cebo
To add insult to injury, Codey put in a needless late hit on Wyrwas in the build-up, earning her second yellow card as a result and leaving Australia with 14 for the final quarter cebo
That should have been the cue for the floodgates to open, but England were unusually sloppy in the final 20 minutes, and did well to avoid conceding again themselves at the end after Sarah Beckett was also sent to the sin-bin as England conceded four penalties in one passage of play cebo

On a night that Manchester United desperately needed to win, in part due to their poor standing in Group A of the Champions League and, in part to honour the passing of United legend Sir Bobby Charlton, it fell to two of their most maligned characters to ensure victory at Old Trafford cebo
A tepid first half left the packed house inside the stadium clamouring for a bit of verve and excitement from the hosts, who seemed low on confidence and motivation cebo
Chances were few and far cebo between with Copenhagen coming the closest to scoring as Diogo Goncalves struck the woodwork early on cebo
The introduction of Christian Eriksen provided a new dimension to United’s play and the Dane was the supplier for the only goal of the match cebo
A corner was knocked out to him and he whipped a cross perfectly onto the head of Harry Maguire cebo
The defender, selected for tonight’s game after a sterling performance at the weekend, repaid Erik ten Hag’s faith with a powerful header into the deck, the ball bouncing over Kamil Grabara to send United in front cebo
That goal should have been enough to clinch victory but a late, late foul from Scott McTominay gifted Copenhagen the chance to equalise cebo
They were awarded a penalty, Jordan Larsson stepped up, but Andre Onana made the save, leaping to his left and touching the ball wide of the post cebo
Old Trafford roared in celebration, as did Onana, who made up for his previous mistakes in this competition with a save that could yet keep United in the Champions League cebo
"I’m just doing my job, the most important thing is to win against a tough team,” Onana said after his match-winning save cebo
"I am happy for the victory, we did a good game and a big goal from Harry cebo
"We are Manchester United cebo
We are a big club, big players cebo
It’s just a matter of time, now we have to continue like this cebo
I have no doubt we will make it cebo
"Onana’s last minute penalty save denied Copenghagen an equaliser (EPA)Maguire spoke about how United were inspired to win as a tribute to Sir Bobby cebo
“It was one of those nights where it was meant to be,” said Maguire cebo
“We were meant to win the game, a magnificent save and a win dedicated to Sir Bobby and his family cebo
"It has been a tough week for us away at Sheffield United and losing someone like Sir Bobby, it affects the cub and the dressing room cebo
We’re really proud that we could get the win for him tonight cebo
"Harry Maguire’s second-half header earned United all three points (EPA)The former United captain added that there were still areas of improvement for the team but getting three points on the board was the most important job cebo
He added: “We have got to be more clinical, we had numerous counter-attacks and we didn’t give them a chance in the second-half cebo
"The first-half was really poor, it was not perfect but an important win cebo
This man [Onana] stepped up and it was a massive save cebo
"The victory sees United move off the bottom of Group A as they jumped above Copenhagen in the table cebo
With Bayern Munich also defeating Galatasary, the Red Devils are now just one point behind the Turkish side and have a strong chance of reaching the knockouts cebo
Maguire says that after a difficult year, he is looking forward to helping the team get back to where they belong and is targeting a place in the Champions League last-16 cebo
"It is amazing,” he replied when asked how it feels to have the fans chanting his name cebo
“When you are not on your game it gets picked up, but I am really proud and pleased how I have acted over this six to 12 months cebo
"I have been given an opportunity and I want to help the team and get the club back to where it should be cebo
