So great to see Emily Scarrett back

That kick off the side of the boot by Scarret . Just Wow.

Ellie Kildunne. What a smiling little assassin, she is!

@@chasey2327 I wouldn't call 145 tackles "hardly any".... they did drop off a bunch tho, but I would put that down to the red roses being so skilled and evasive.

Thought Hollie was unsung hero today

I was down in Bude,Cornwall over the New Year and i was very impressed with the big turn out for a young women's rugby match being played on the main rugby pitch in the town.If this represents the speed of the development of women's rugby in England then it will be very many years before other countries catch up.I hope they do for the sake of competitive sport.

Amazing team indeed👏👏👏👏👏. Well done England. One more to go👍👍

You got your words mixed up, this and previous days are when England showed what level the rest are at.

I think Zoe Aldcroft's try was my favourite - she's bloody quick for a lock! The only anmoying thing about this game is the timing. Playing on a Saturday when the Premiership is on doesn't really help with the crowd or the live viewing figures.

They had 42K people attend - i dont see that as a problem. It's the second highest crowd in a rugby game ever. What is annoying about that??

8 tries from the Fast Three alone - 2 for Jess, and 3 apiece for Abby and Ellie. My favourite is probably Jess' first - she annihilated the Irish wing as if she was a prop!

Up there and a powerful display, but for me. Meg Jones' step... 😮

I was there with my granddaughters. They loved it! Zoe Aldcroft, second row, tearing through the Ireland centre at 76 minutes, like she'd just come on the field . . . Wow! What a player!

The Irish back three should spend some time on tackle technique.

Close game. For me, England just edged it.

England were outstanding - playing quick ball with Tatyana Heard at 12 has really helped release the back 3. Scarratt was great at getting things moving too. Ireland were very poor. 1: If you're going to kick a lot you really need a good kick chase. 2: If you're not going to kick chase, then for goodness sake don't kick to Ellie Kildunne! 3: If you're going to kick to Kildunne but not going to kick chase, then you'd better not miss your 1 on 1 tackles. Ooops!

One remarkable fact that the media have seemed to have overlooked is that the back three of Kildunne, Dow and Breach that scored a total of eight tries against Ireland last Saturday all made their debuts for England against Canada in November 2017 and in what turned out to be a highly prophetic display managed to score a total of nine tries between them, including six by Jess Breach alone.

English sports fans are best in world. No matter what, they turn up for their team.

We in ireland will have have a great time listening to irish mainstream media b*llshit their way out of this ! 😂😂😂😂

Well it was nice of the Irish girls to show up and give England a training session 😂😂😂

Glad our kicker got her conversions sorted out. Awesome game and roll on France. Mo Hunt is something special tho with her perception of open spaces. Hope Marlie gets to play in the WC 2025 as I see it as her swan song age looming.

So proud🎉😊

Irelands tackling is wretched. So many 1 on 1s missed.

Brilliant England, commiserations to the gallant Irish, now a reset for the French, in what should be a much closer game.

How many teams were on the pitch.

Has Erin got a tackling coach ?

Let's count how many are paid rugby professionals, training/playing full time, and how many need another job between matches to pay the bills.

If this was a Boxing Match Irelands Corner would have thrown in the Towel

Zoe Aldcroft is the best player in the world right now.

There's no way Lucy Packer should have been given a yellow card, and Ireland awarded a penalty try! If you look at the replay, then clearly poor Lucy did not bring down the pack. I know she's a pocket rocket but there no way she could have physically done so. Clearly, the ref was feeling sorry for Ireland and made Lucy a scapegoat!

Hanah i adore you big girl you are totsl fun

Wonderful! I am going to watch the women much more. Wish the men were as good in winning so well. Wow and what a lot of beefy gals!

Not a good tournament when there is potentially only one competitive match.

Can anyone explain why Lucy P was yellow carded and a penalty try awarded? My guess is she 'tackled' an Irish player in the maul rather than bind to an English player and just push/shove but did this prevent a try?

@@brettonsmith8534 @BenRelle TY both. The gist I get is she probably joined from an offside position (i.e. not from behind the rear-most feet). It was the refs comment about possible 'foul play' having occurred vs a technical infringement that threw me. The judgement on Lucy P's action preventing a try is debatable but the Refs in charge. Next week I aim to understand the offside Law 🙂

@BenRelle

Ай бұрын

@@suckers0 Regardless of the offside (and I maintain she was offside, BTW), the ref said it was because she tackled the maul - you're allowed to bind onto the maul and push it, but you can't bind round the legs and therefore attempt to tackle it. Ref said she'd tackled it, and so she was guilty of collapsing the maul (which is also an offence, however you achieve it). There is subjectiveness in the judgement of whether Ireland would have scored had Packer not done what she did, but usually in rugby, benefit of those types of decisions goes with the attacking team. As it happened, I was just behind the upright on that side of the pitch when it happened, and I thought it was a fair call.

88-10🤯!! that’s a rugby Demolition job Masterclass!! Really lucky to get 10!!! why do I even bother watching the useless men🤷‍♂️!!! Watch the red roses instead showing how you win the 6 nations!! i would love to see France trying to make it a contest no chance after a 14 try pro Rout!! champion’s = Red roses🏆

What that came down to was basically pathetic defensive tackling.

What good is that Ireland should give up playing this game if that's all we have 😊😢

Les irlandaises ont joué comme des U18...

'Red Roses' you mean England, you don't call Ireland the Green Clovers or anything else do you ?

If England passed the ball more in the 22 they would score alot more tries..player are a bit greedy when they see the line.
