The Women's Six Nations is proving something of a mixed blessing for some of the former Welwyn juniors playing for England.
Hannah Botterman, who started her rugby career with Datchworth before moving to Hobbs Way, scored for the second week as the Red Roses won 46-10 against Wales in Bristol.
Another two ex-Welwyn players were on the bench, Zoe Harrison and Sydney Gregson, but one that was missing was Helena Rowland.
She had played through a leg knock during the first round win in Italy and but fractured her finger in the same game, with head coach John Mitchell confirming the centre will require surgery.
England's hunt for a sixth Six Nations title on the bounce never looked in doubt at Ashton Gate.
Botterman's score came in the first half and was joined by fellow front-rows Maud Muir and Lark Atkin-Davies on the scoresheet before half-time, as well as lock Zoe Aldcroft.
Holly Aitchison converted two of them and the pressure continued in the second half with Abby Dow and Rosie Galligan getting one each and Ellie Kildunne following up her two tries in Italy with another brace here.
Aitchison landed one further conversion as England completed a 39th win in 41 tests.
Mitchell believes there is plenty more to come from this squad too, despite the try sprees in both games so far.
The head coach said: "The game doesn’t always go for you in attack, so you have got to be good on the other side of the ball.
"The start is the maul defence and we are making good strides.
"To be a really good team and for this team to grow we need to find different ways to score and make sure we can play the game in different ways.
"We are trying to be very clear on our strategy. They built pressure in both halves and I think we left a couple [of tries] out there as well.
"I still think there is massive growth left in us."
England captain Marlie Packer added: "We put a spotlight on ourselves. We want to play with tempo and put an exciting brand of rugby out on the pitch.
"Our set-piece was phenomenal, which gave us really good front-foot ball to play.
"We want to let the handbrake off and play. The ball will go down at some points in the game because of how we are trying to play, but hopefully it is exciting rugby.
"We had 19,000 fans here today and we want them to keep coming back."
