Marlie Packer hailed the dawn of a new era after England eased past Australia 42-7 in their WXV opener in Wellington cebo

It was the first opportunity for the Red Roses to play on New Zealand soil since their heartbreaking World Cup final defeat to the Black Ferns a year ago, and they were comfortable, scoring six tries in all cebo

The launch of WXV – a new international competition designed to revolutionise the women’s rugby landscape – gives the world’s number one side a chance to cement their status at the top of the world rankings, in spite of falling just short last year cebo

On their way to the final, they had knocked off the Wallaroos 41-5, and almost exactly 12 months on, it was an identical margin of victory, although Packer fell just short of the hat-trick she managed in that quarter-final cebo

“It was a great victory cebo

The Aussies gave us a really good game,” Packer said cebo

“We talk about courage and being courageous and we’re going to grow into this tournament and today was the start of that cebo

“It’s a fantastic competition and we’re all excited to be here playing the top teams in the world, coming off the World Cup last year and keeping the legacy going in New Zealand cebo

“I know the girls are really enjoying it over here cebo

The camp is feeling really good we’re a new-look England side and enjoying the way we are playing cebo

“We have new coaching staff and we’re pleased that John Mitchell is here now and we’re looking to keep growing and building into next week’s game cebo

”England made the perfect start, with Hannah Botterman crashing over from close range after just five minutes from a clever lineout move cebo

But each time they seemed as though they might turn it into points, someone would get back to make the vital intervention cebo

England, by contrast, were much more clinical, Alex Matthews and Jess Breach with the steal and then break to put Ella Wyrwas in to score, Aitchison converted from out wide cebo

Try number three came after a big Packer charge saw Annabelle Codey sent to the sin-bin for an upright tackle cebo

Against 14, England were never going to be stopped, the captain delivering the punishment from a rolling maul cebo

That was soon followed by another, Breach with one of the easiest finishes off her international career as she coasted over untouched on the left after Australia had again struggled to contain a rolling maul cebo

Aitchison converted both and England led 28-0 at half-time cebo

Botterman was denied her second try shortly after half-time, but a rolling maul a few minutes later allowing Packer to double up, Aitchison again converting cebo

While it did not pay immediate dividends, a quick tap penalty from Layne Morgan saw replacement Ashley Marsters burst over from close range to get the Wallaroos’ first try cebo

Carys Dallinger converted from out wide cebo

Any hopes of a comeback were quickly squashed cebo

England got back into the Australian 22 and former sevens standout Meg Jones showed her quick feet to dart through for the Red Roses’ sixth try cebo

To add insult to injury, Codey put in a needless late hit on Wyrwas in the build-up, earning her second yellow card as a result and leaving Australia with 14 for the final quarter cebo

That should have been the cue for the floodgates to open, but England were unusually sloppy in the final 20 minutes, and did well to avoid conceding again themselves at the end after Sarah Beckett was also sent to the sin-bin as England conceded four penalties in one passage of play cebo

New head coach John Mitchell joined up with the team on Thursday after his role with Japan’s men’s team ended at the Rugby World Cup pool stage, and watched England romp to an impressive win cebo

Six months ago, it was all so rosy for Red Bull cebo

Four races into the 2023 season and it was two apiece for Max Verstappen and Sergio ‘Checo’ Perez, with the Mexican seemingly signalling his intent to be a genuine contender for the championship with a sprint and race victory in Azerbaijan cebo

After all, no car could come close to the speed generated by Red Bull design-guru Adrian Newey and his team of top-tier engineers this season cebo

Even in Miami a week later, Perez looked set to take the lead in the standings after claiming pole position, with Verstappen down in ninth cebo

But since the Dutchman stormed to victory, propelling past his team-mate with relative ease, it has been one-way traffic cebo

And while Verstappen has won every race bar one since then, amid an unprecedented winning streak, Perez’s form has fallen off a cliff cebo

Since Miami, Perez has recorded just four podiums in 13 races in the fastest car on the grid – and none in his last four meets cebo

On the contrary to challenging Verstappen for the title, he is now looking over his shoulder as he tries to seal second place cebo

“I think there was a decisive moment this year which was probably in Miami where Checo had, if you like, an open goal,” said his boss Christian Horner cebo

“He’d won two races in Azerbaijan and Saudi and you could see his confidence was high cebo

“I think that Max, winning that race… I think mentally that was quite a brutal one for Checo to deal with cebo

”Nothing, in fact, symbolised Perez’s struggles more than when he handed Verstappen the title by crashing out of the sprint race in Qatar, tangling with back-of-the-pack cars down the order cebo

The Dutchman did not even need to finish to wrap up championship No 3 cebo

And so, quite inevitably and despite holding a contract until the end of 2024, speculation has swirled about Perez’s future cebo

Some of the criticism has been justified, but some has been over-the-top for a man who has dedicated the last 13 years of his life to Formula 1 cebo

Last month, the 33-year-old revealed he’d hired a mental coach to “become the best version of myself at home, but also as a driver cebo

”Sergio Perez will be desperate to perform this weekend in front of his home fans (Getty Images)But while no one can question his dedication to the sport, Red Bull can ill-afford to carry a passenger next season amid their current period of domination cebo

A lack of obvious contenders to replace him – with the likes of Lando Norris and Alex Albon all held under long-term contracts – helps his cause and Perez does indeed have his short-term future in his own hands cebo

Yet Albon’s own demise at Red Bull at the end of 2020 shows Horner and Helmut Marko aren’t afraid to ruffle feathers if needs be cebo

Watching across at the sister team as well is nine-time grand prix winner Daniel Ricciardo, desperate for another shot at the big time cebo

So, what can Perez do? By the end of the season-finale in Abu Dhabi next month, he needs to have secured second in the championship cebo

That is the minimum cebo

Such is Red Bull’s ridiculous pace this year, being caught by the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton would represent something of a downbeat conclusion at the end of a peerless year for Red Bull, who’ve never registered a one-two season-end finish cebo

Alex Albon, centre, lost his seat to Perez for the 2021 season but now the Mexican’s future is hanging in the balance (Getty Images)But what Perez will want most of all is a statement performance; a weekend display of driving which proves he still deserves his spot at the top-table cebo

At least for now cebo

In practice on Friday, Perez was three-tenths of a second off his team-mate Verstappen, who unsurprisingly recorded the quickest time amidst the altitude of Mexico City, with Williams’ Albon sandwiched in-cebo between cebo

There would be no place cebo better than his home race at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez to silence the naysayers cebo

A third podium in Mexico City would be satisfactory; a shock victory would be a dream cebo

But the truth is it doesn’t have to come this weekend cebo

Either one of the three races thereafter – in Brazil, Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi – gives Perez an opportunity cebo

It doesn’t even need to be a podium; a drive from towards the back of the grid to near the front, with some exquisite racing, would prove he still has what it takes cebo

If not, three years on from saving his F1 skin with a shock call-up at Red Bull for the unfortunate Albon, Perez himself could be the recipient of the ruthlessness of the Red Bull merry-go-round cebo

Time to deliver, Checo cebo
