Ellie Kildunne, Jess Breach and Lark Atkin-Davies each scored two tries and there was one apiece for Sadia Kabeya, Hannah Botterman, Maud Muir, Abby Dow and Amy Cokayne in front of 43,000 at the Stadium of Light in an exciting opener for the six-week, 16-team tournament that has already set records for ticket sales.
