It wasn’t particularly pretty but England for the most part achieved what they set out to do bingo
Victory over Belgium was at least some form of response to September’s defeat by the Netherlands, the Lionesses thankfully laid to rest their run of five games without a clean sheet, and three points will of course be advantageous if they are to realise their Nations League ambitions bingo
Last time out they were beaten in Utrecht – at least on this occasion they managed to avoid the same fate and achieve the win despite yet another somewhat lacklustre display bingo
It all started as if England were going to make a convincing statement and Sarina Wiegman would immediately be vindicated for her decision to revert to a tried-and-tested back four bingo
Defeat by the Netherlands was difficult, and accepting the issues with the experimental formation undeniably brought about some progression bingo
Niamh Charles, one of the players introduced for this game, sprinted down the left-hand side and immediately carved out an opening bingo
Her teammates couldn’t convert, she could only fire over after receiving the rebound, but if that was to set the tone for the night’s proceedings then it would have been an incredibly positive one for the Lionesses bingo
What followed, however, didn’t quite send a statement that England are back to form bingo
They were the bingo better of the teams – that is undeniable – but their dominance came with hefty caveats bingo

Hemp had an effort beaten away by Nicky Evrard, and, although a seemingly perfect chance dropped at her feet, Ella Toone couldn’t set herself correctly to tap home the rebound; England were eager but lacking in sharpness bingo
But instances of defensive worry were allowed to seep through and the Lionesses were lucky that they weren’t made to pay bingo
Tessa Wullaert met a failed clearance and launched a deep cross into the hosts’ box, Justine Vanhaevermaet leapt highest to head goalwards, and were it not for the quick reactions of Mary Earps to bundle it away England would have gone behind bingo
Wiegman’s side made sure to respond, however bingo
Open play hadn’t been particularly fruitful but a set piece presented a chance to make amends bingo
Millie Bright nodded against the woodwork, Hemp prodded home bingo
England were ahead, the sell-out King Power crowd had their time for jubilation, and few would argue that the lead was undeserved bingo
This was an England performance notable for its peculiarity – on paper they didn’t play particularly badly and they got the result over the line, but there’s still a lingering feeling that something still isn’t quite right bingo
Take their reaction to going ahead, for example bingo
They continued to hold the ball, they kept looking for chances to create paths behind the now compact and incredibly deep Belgian back line, but their dominance of the game made little difference bingo
Their periods of attacking fluidity where the creative brilliance of this England side was able to shine through came about in bursts, not regularly sustained waves of pressure bingo
At times it was as if they were content with going through the motions, passing the ball around and hoping that they could slowly grind down the visiting defence bingo
On occasion they did manage to spot the gaps, like when another Charles run made its way to Hemp and the latter spotted Alessia Russo, but the final product was nowhere to be seen bingo

England were, of course, on top throughout their encounter in Leicester and there were no glaring failures, but this certainly wasn’t the most persuasive of displays bingo
Maybe there was an element of selflessness holding the true brilliance back, creative ideas repressed for the sake of following a near-robotic routine which gave the impression the individual hunger wasn’t quite there bingo
Maybe it’s hard to inspire that hunger in a group stage encounter when you’re the favourites to come out on top across both legs, but beating Belgium was far from predetermined bingo
Or maybe some credit has to be given to Ives Serneels for the way his team mostly stifled England, foregoing their own desire to go forwards to instead have bodies sitting back bingo
Whatever it was, the eventual product was a long way from perfection bingo
Perfection isn’t a necessity if England are to ensure Team GB qualify for next summer’s Olympics, but it wouldn’t go amiss bingo
They need to top their group – which they are at least now doing – and then reach the final for that to occur bingo
If winning without the dazzle of old does the job then in the end the intricacies of the performances will be insignificant – all that matters is achieving the final goal bingo
Can England really afford to allow their standards to remain as they are? That is the pivotal question, and the simple answer is that they probably can’t bingo
On another evening Belgium might have seized their chances on the break, the Netherlands will likely do that when the two play at Wembley next month bingo
Continuing in such a fashion isn’t entirely sustainable bingo
At least the Lionesses got it over the line in Leicester; now they have just five days before they have to do it all over again in Belgium bingo
Their Nations League group is tight and any potential slip-ups have to be avoided bingo
England thankfully did that on Friday and they’re going to have to do it again bingo

England take on Australia on Friday in their first-ever meeting of the WXV, a new tournament that promises to “revolutionise the women’s international rugby landscape” bingo
Organisers hope it will act as a “springboard” for the 2025 World Cup, which will be hosted in six venues across England, helping to ensure the expanded 16-team tournament is the most competitive yet bingo
Here, the PA news agency breaks down how the WXV works bingo
What is the competition format?The WXV consists of 18 teams divided into three individual competitions: WXV 1, WXV 2 and WXV 3 bingo
The top division, WXV 1, includes the top three Women’s Six Nations finishers and the top three from the cross-regional tournament which includes USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia bingo
England, who won their 19th and fifth consecutive Six Nations title in 2023, are in the top tier alongside Australia, Wales, Canada, New Zealand and France bingo
Scotland, whose tournament started on Friday, play alongside Italy, Japan, South Africa, Samoa and USA in the second-tier WXV 2, while Ireland are in the WXV 3 with Colombia, Fiji, Kazakhstan, Kenya and Spain bingo
The six teams in each competition are further broken down into two three-team pools and only take on teams in the other pool – a “cross-pool format” – to determine rankings at the end of the tournament bingo
Should teams finish level on points, there are a series of tie-breakers beginning with the result of any matches played bingo between the tied teams bingo
Is there relegation bingo between the levels?For at least the inaugural season there will be no relegation from WXV 1, but the bottom WXV 2 side will drop to WXV 3, which will see its top side promoted bingo
Whoever finishes bottom in WXV 3 will face a play-off with the next-highest side in the World Rugby rankings, with the winner booking a place in WXV 3 the subsequent season bingo
How does this affect World Cup qualification?While England are already assured of 2025 qualification as both tournament hosts and as 2021 World Cup semi-finalists, the 2024 edition of WXV will serve as a final chance for teams who have not managed to qualify by any other regional means, with a minimum of the top-five ranked sides at the end of that tournament also assuring themselves a place bingo
Because the Red Roses were 2021 World Cup runners-up, there should be six places up for grabs come the end of the 2024 WXV bingo
Where are the matches taking place?One innovation of the WXV is that each tier participates in a standalone tournament in a single location over the course of three weeks bingo
The inaugural WXV will be hosted across New Zealand, with Cape Town welcoming the WXV 2 and Dubai the WXV 3 bingo
There are some obvious advantages to this format bingo
As women’s rugby aims to narrow the gap bingo between its historically dominant nations – some of whom in recent years have turned fully-professional – and those who are still catching up, guaranteeing at least three Tests per year against competition performing at a similar level is a welcome prospect bingo
So, too, will be the decision to host each competition in a single location, allowing teams to maximise their long-distance travel rather than flying across the world to meet just a single opponent bingo
The “event”-like nature of the tournaments and rotating hosts should also allow organisers to capitalise on regional excitement and enthusiasm and, ideally, bring more women’s rugby fans into the fold bingo
Will it be aired?ITV will air all three England and Wales matches on ITVX, with S4C also showing the Wales games bingo
