Results Summary
Note: In recent years England's RFUW have not tended to enter their first XV in the FIRA European championships, and as a result the RFUW do not include the results in their first XV's international statistics. However – as confirmed by leading rugby statistician Stuart Farmer of SFMS Ltd – even in men's rugby full international status is awarded to any game...
"where ONE country awards full test caps for its players, not like cricket when both sides must award caps for it to count. Also, one country may even award caps when the opponents are not even a country (as with Wales against the Barbarians in 1990 and 1996, or even when countries play against another country’s second teams or age group sides."
As most of England's opponents (and FIRA) treat FIRA tournament games as full internationals they are recorded as such below. This will mean that RFUW statistics will differ.

Famous quotes containing the words results and/or summary:
“There is not a single rule, however plausible, and however firmly grounded in epistemology, that is not violated at some time or other. It becomes evident that such violations are not accidental events, they are not results of insufficient knowledge or of inattention which might have been avoided. On the contrary, we see that they are necessary for progress.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
“Product of a myriad various minds and contending tongues, compact of obscure and minute association, a language has its own abundant and often recondite laws, in the habitual and summary recognition of which scholarship consists.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
