NORTHAMPTON, England (Reuters) -Winger Jess Breach scored a hat-trick of tries as the home side recorded their biggest win at the Women’s Rugby World Cup with a 14-try 90-3 Pool A victory over Samoa on Saturday.

The Samoan players hold amateur status and were never expected to trouble England, but it was a professional display from coach John Mitchell’s side in both attack and defence as they booked a quarter-final spot.
