WXV: Ten players to watch including England’s Abby Dow and Alex Matthews

Vaha’akolo’s Test try rate might be good, but England wing Dow is right up there with her.

The 26-year-old flyer has scored seven tries in her last seven Tests, including a dazzling run from the halfway line that left Vaha’akolo trailing at Twickenham.

Her team-mates may try to argue otherwise but Dow is probably the quickest player in the squad and arguably across the entire women’s game.

A game-breaker from anywhere on the pitch, Dow’s pace and power has resulted in multiple brilliant individual scores.

But defensively is where she has taken her game to a new level under head coach John Mitchell, and her all-around game is now among the best of any winger.
