The guests recovered from conceding the opening attempt to run in six tries at Rodney Parade and strengthen their grip on third place within the Guinness Ladies’s Six Nations.
Forwards Linda Djougang, Aoife Wafer and Dorothy Wall every crossed the whitewash twice in south Wales because the hosts’ await a primary win beneath Sean Lynn extends for at the very least another week.

“We said doing the same as what we did last year, two wins in the competition with the three [matches] that we probably should win away. We’ve managed to achieve that.
“I think there’s bits of performance out there that I actually feel a little bit flat about because I think we’ve left a lot of points out there.
“I’d hoped to lay down a bit of a statement victory and I think that we had probably 16, 18 minutes at the end there where we could have kicked on and that could have been 50, 60.
“With the young group there was a whole piece of occasion around here and handling playing a Wales group that, you know, are brilliantly Welsh. They were always going to make the breakdown hard and we kind of allowed that to happen.”
Captain Edel McMahon agreed along with her coach: “I positively assume we have been a bit sluggish to start out, in all probability allowed Wales to come back at us versus imposing ourselves.
“We have been fairly conscious of the problem that they’ve set in opposition to England, in opposition to France, of their video games in opposition to these. Wales got here out and scored first in opposition to England.
“So, it in all probability wasn’t a shock to us and we knew we needed to keep affected person in our system, in our course of.
“However like Scott mentioned, a win away with a scoreline like that, it’s truly a giant achievement, however we’re all hungry for extra and we all know we left so much on the market.”
