  1. England 33-5 Ireland

    Ireland have gone back on the attack, and have piled up by the posts. Have they got it down?

    They have lacked nothing in spirit today.

  2. England 33-5 Ireland

    Kildunne didn't look overly happy at first, maybe because today hasn't gone quite so smoothly, but she did unveil the lasso celebration and a big smile as she ran back to halfway.

    We needed something to bring this game to life and who else would it be than your cowgirl, Ellie Kildunne?

    Try - England 33-5 Ireland

    Ellie Kildunne

    Who else?

    England plunged back into the Irish half, then Zoe Harrison sent a long pass to her left and Ellie Kildunne kicked in the afterburners, gliding away from a couple of tacklers to place the ball down with one hand just in from the corner.

  5. 'Oh my word'

    England 21-5 Ireland

    Former Ireland international on BBC Two

    Oh my word! Well done Anna, she was just on the field but she stayed in with only blades of grass to play with. Good girl Anna McGann.

    Try - England 28-5 Ireland

    Anna McGann

    With Natasha Hunt limping off, and England wondering how to reshuffle their backline, Ireland taker advantage and get onto the scoresheet!

    They move the ball right, scrum-half Emily Lane feeds a short pass off a maul and Amy McGann does superbly, under pressure from English tacklers, to twist around and get the ball just over the line.

  7. England 28-0 Ireland

    There's a whole lot of strapping going on to the right knee, and Natasha Hunt is fit enough to carry on.

    That break also gave us the chance to see Marlie Packer, albeit with a yellow bib on and carrying drinks to those that need it.

  8. England 28-0 Ireland

    Natasha Hunt is down and needing treatment, the game pauses while she is seen to.

    Ireland must be frustrated that good spells, in defence or attack, have been undone by drops or charge-downs like the one that resulted in Breach's try.

    Ellie Kildunne seems to be running great ‘dummy’ lines but taking the ball. It’ll come off before long, either as the dummy or misread by the defence. Want to also mention Maddie Feaunati - I think the very last blade of grass has just been trodden upon.

  10. Is 54 Breach's lucky number?

    Jess Breach's 54th England try on her 54th cap, in the 54th minute of the game. She is currently joint third with Emily Scarratt in the England rankings.

    And that Jess Breach effort also gives England a bonus point for their fourth try of the afternoon.

    Really nice bit of play for England. It was a great chase and a lovely pick up from Jess.

    Converted try - England 28-0 Ireland

    Jess Breach (Con: Rowland)

    Yes, she certainly did!

    Meg Jones charged down an Irish kick, and then chipped cleverly ahead allowing Jess Breach the chance to race through.

    She managed to latch onto the ball, and despite an incoming tackle, she grounded it to record her 54th try in her 54th international.

    Jess Breach

    It looks like a wonderful try - but was the ball grounded?

  15. England 21-0 Ireland

    After a couple of resets and some stern words from the referee, Ireland do well to clear with Emily Lane doing well to flip the ball back to Dannah O'Brien.

    She clears to halfway, and Ellie Kildunne cannot get free from the green shirts that bear down on her.

  16. England 21-0 Ireland

    An England attack is stopped by fine work from Cliodhna Moloney-MacDonald, but England then attack to the right and Ellie Kildunne looks to be slicing through.

    But the full-back is stopped in her tracks and is held standing up, giving Ireland the ball at a scrum five metres out.

  17. England 21-0 Ireland

    Huge roars from England's front row as they disrupt an Irish scrum and win a penalty that gives England the chance to kick clear.

    Another chance for Ireland goes begging.

  18. England short at lock

    Lock Morwenna Talling was one of England's unsung World Cup heroes.

    Zoe Stratford, Abbie Ward and Rosie Galligan, who have all played in the second row under John Mitchell, all recently announced their pregnancies.

    Talling's injury looks like it could be serious and is a big opportunity for Haineala Lutui, who usually plays in the back row.

  19. England 21-0 Ireland

    Ireland get a penalty from the scrum, and Dannah O'Brien's kick to the England 22 is dropped by Ellie Kildunne.

    The full-back feels it didn't go forwards, but the referee Clara Munarini thinks otherwise.

  20. England 21-0 Ireland

    The replacement gets an early touch, smashing onto the ball in the centre as England spin it wide from a lineout.

    Sadia Kabeya makes good yardage with a forceful run down the right, but England lose the ball in the tackle and Ireland have the chance to clear from a scrum in their own half.
