It got to the point that I had tears streaming down my face and was shouting at the screen “Please England stop! They’re dead already!!” 😭

[@stevelee4952]

So great to see Emily Scarrett back

[@stroketheboat]

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

[@mlguy8376]

Glad they kicked the ball out of the end - it was a close game 😂

Lol

Jeepers.. some of that England passing was enough to shame the men's team... Just wow!

John Mitchell has taken this team to a point where they look 10 years ahead of anyone else.

Yep curlie wurly done it again well done team england well deserved pity loss of concentration gave away penalty try so proud of girls team packet leads by example❤😊

Amazingly played, Red Roses!!! Gotta feel for any team playing such a cohesive and ruthless side. Fair play to Ireland getting on the board. Looking forward to Le Crunch!! 🌹🌹🌹

[@chasey2327]

ireland hardly made a tackle all day tho

[@lost_boy]

@@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.

[@jonchess8844]

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

[@adrianlloyd6403]

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.

[@robleary3353]

Brilliant flowing rugby! Nuff said.🙂

[@robw7676]

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.

[@stroketheboat]

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??

[@BenjWarrant]

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!

[@krungstar4541]

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

[@davebrokenshire1086]

This was the day the Red Roses took women's rugby to a whole new level.

[@paulchristopher8634]

And yet we are not world champions

[@skellysuburban6134]

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

[@peterlogan6422]

Close game. For me, England just edged it.

[@robinholland1136]

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!

[@cyclingnut2122]

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

[@estevezcollins]

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

[@sheibanineda2488]

So proud🎉😊

[@user-kj5bf9rm9d]

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

[@pljms]

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.

[@devonshire5482]

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.

[@kmay4963]

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

Most if not all rugby fans know you’re right. Truly fantastic.

[@mikecmoore]

English Red Roses, just awesome.

[@coredump27]

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!

[@chasey2327]

think the irish tackle coach might be doing some overtime next week

If the womens lions squad were picked now would any of the england team not be picked???

[@LeornianCyng]

2 x World Champions, 19 x 6 Nations Champions and 1 x WXV Champions showing why they are the World Number 1. Utterly dominating, free flowing rugby at home in Twickenham where they belong. Kildunne is a very special superstar and yesterday she was phenomenal.

[@edwardharris2388]

I hope the other women's unions can catch up to England soon. As much as it's brilliant having such a dominant england team it doesn't make for many thrilling matches when there's nobody except for maybe new zealand/france on their level.

[@davidfiler7439]

Agreed, gave up at half time.

[@BadgerUKvideo]

Was thrilling though. Not usually a fan of watching the Roses due to their dominance but if they're going to keep scoring that many tries I can't complain.

[@Iloverugby396]

The reason that England are dominant is because no other nation cares

😀🏈🦁👍👍👍

[@suckers0]

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?

[@andyryan4484]

Red desperate to give Ireland something?

[@BenRelle]

She joined from the side, tried to tackle the mail and in the referee's judgement a try would have been scored of she hadn't. It's a fair one really.

[@brettonsmith8534]

Looked back foot to me on a maul that roled in different directions. Ireland tried to role left and she joined the maul. It then roled right. She didn’t change her bind.

[@suckers0]

@@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]

@@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.

[@FrankNstyn]

What that came down to was basically pathetic defensive tackling.

[@thehum1000]

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.
