Hard call. Boudica had met with success against smaller Roman forces and when she got room to maneuver, she was a bear to contend with. The problem was that the Battle of Watling Street, she read the ground wrong. According to the history, the terrain was hilly with the side slopes too steep for chariots and hard on the legs. The front slope is gentler and the only way up. But you can only view this when you're actually standing on the hill. So, it was kind of a Thermopalaye type battle. The Britons could not maneuver to the flanks and had to throw themselves against Roman discipline.
On open and flatter terrain, the Romans would not have such an easy time.
