WINGER Emily Felt-ham was reduced to a cameo role in Eng-land's women rugby team's comprehensive 40-0 victory against the Welsh on Sunday.

In front of a large crowd at London Welsh's Deer Park ground, the English recorded an identical winning margin as their male counterparts had only 24 hours earlier down the road at Twickenham.

And in a situation uncannily similar to that of the men's team, the result was just what they needed after the disappointment of losing to France three weeks ago.
