Dow about that then? Milestone is Jess the job!

September 16, 2025

ABBY Dow joined Jess Breach in reaching the 50-try milestone at the Women's World Cup but only became aware of the achievement when she was given a reminder by her England teammate.

- By DUNCAN BECH

Dow registered her half-century when she raced onto a long pass by Holly Aitchison in the first half of Sunday's 40-8 victory over Scotland that setup a semifinal against France.

A rivalry has developed between England's finishers, as they chase down the record of 61 held by Sue Day, but that did not stop Breach congratulating her fellow wing.

"I forgot about this and Jess jumped on me afterwards and I was like, 'chill out mate, I know I scored and got a really nice dive!' And then at halftime Jess was like, 'mate, that was your 50th', and I said, 'oh yeah'," said Dow. "I feel incredible. It's a credit to everyone on the team because it's a collation of everyone's work for the years that I've played on the wing. There is no doubt it requires a whole team to put your winger into the space to score."
