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:
“Intellectual despair results in neither weakness nor dreams, but in violence.... It is only a matter of knowing how to give vent to one’s rage; whether one only wants to wander like madmen around prisons, or whether one wants to overturn them.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)
“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
