Breach revels in Roses try battle

RUGBY Jess Breach insists the race to become top try scorer is generating healthy competition amongst England's prolific finishers as she stands on the brink of another landmark achievement.

Breach ran in a dynamic hat-trick as the Red Roses confirmed their place in the World Cup quarterfinals with a Pool A game to spare by overwhelming Samoa 92-3 in Northampton.

It propelled the 27-year-old Saracens wing past the half-century mark as she lifted her try tally to 52, nine short of the record held by Sue Day.
