THEY SCORED 14 TRIES | Red Roses v Ireland highlights

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.

[@lost_boy]

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.

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??

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... 😮

[@estevezcollins]

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

[@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.

[@sheibanineda2488]

So proud🎉😊

[@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!

[@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.

[@imwelshjesus]

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.

They are heroines each and everyone in the Red Roses team and staff, heroes also. It's difficult to pick out a favourite but if i had to it would be Abby Dow due to her high level of skill and determination. Judging by the various interviews that she appeared on, Abby seems a really lovely person too. I didn't realise until recently that she ultra intelligent with a first class honours degree in mechanical engineering at Imperial College. Can't get much better than that!

[@mikebarnard7957]

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!

[@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.
