JESS Breach says England are determined to show they are “predator” rather than “prey” as she bids to stretch her extraordinary winning record to 50 international matches.

- By ED ELLIOT

The Saracens wing, who scored a hat-trick of tries in last weekend's 92-3 demolition of Samoa, will bring up a half-century of caps in today’s World Cup clash with Australia in Brighton.

Remarkably, the 27-year-old has never suffered defeat at Test level, winning all 49 of her previous outings, beginning with a stunning six-try debut against Canada in 2017.

The Red Roses will secure top spot in Pool A by avoiding defeat to the Wallaroos and are targeting another ruthless display to underline their status as tournament favourites.

“We know we get hunted by every team - every team wants to beat us, so we want to turn it around and say we're hunting them,” said Breach.
