FORMER Ellingham & Ringwood youngster Poppy Cleall helped England women maintain their winning start to the Six Nations with a 63-0 hammering of Wales.
Alderholt-raised Cleall, whose preferred position is second-row, replaced Bristol colleague Izzy Noel-Smith at flanker eight minutes into the second half at Cardiff Arms Park.
The game was effectively over at the break with the Red Roses 36 points to the good, helped by a try from Poole-born Amy Wilson Hardy.
However, Cleall and her team-mates kept the heat on after the break with Wilson Hardy crossing for a second time as England increased to 11 tries their overall tally.
Worcester wing Lydia Thompson scored a hat-trick and Danielle Waterman crossed twice.
England secured a bonus point just 23 minutes into the game and having banked an emphatic victory, now sit second in the table.
England face Italy at Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday.
