Fans react to England win in Women's Rugby World Cup opener

England defeated the USA 69-7 in the Women's Rugby World Cup opener in Sunderland on Friday with a crushing 69-7 win over the United States. Beaten in five of the past six World Cup finals by New Zealand, England are under huge pressure to win the showpiece tournament for the first time since 2014.

When England lost to the United States in the inaugural 1991 World Cup final, the match was played in front of crowd of just 3,000 at Cardiff Arms Park. Such has been the growth of women's rugby union, there were 42,723 spectators -- a record for any Women's Rugby World Cup match -- in attendance at Premier League football club Sunderland's Stadium of Light on Friday.
