England ran in eight tries in their 48-0 victory in the Six Nations but Marlie Packer had to come off with an injury in the first half
England’s remorseless pursuit of another grand slam continues after another walkover on a blustery day in Cork. The Red Roses are expecting a record-breaking crowd of more than 50,000 at Twickenham next Saturday for another tumultuous occasion against France, who will be gunning for the slam themselves provided they overcome Wales in Grenoble on Sunday.
There had been a lot of talk during the week of England perhaps breaking their own points-scoring record in the Six Nations or at least improving on their 69-0 win over Ireland in this fixture last season. The women’s game in Ireland is suffering from internal divisions and of the squad for this game only seven had taken up last year’s offer of professional contracts.
Simon Middleton, their head coach, said during the buildup that the Six Nations needed to be more competitive and it continues to be a two-horse race, but England were unable to subdue Ireland. England had racked up 27 points by the interval. Sarah Beckett, the player of the match, touched down after two minutes as the Red Roses put Ireland under some relentless early pressure. Tatyana Heard had scored in every game in this Six Nations and the centre added to her collection when she took a pass from Holly Aitchison to squeeze in at the corner for England’s second try.

England has ‘become a laughing stock’ thanks to politiciansSky News Australia host Piers Morgan says England has “become a laughing stock” thanks to politicians such as Boris Johnson and Liz Truss who supported Brexit. “People look at us and they see Boris Johnson, ridiculous, Liz Truss, ludicrous, we’ve become a laughingstock,” Mr Morgan said. “The one thing we do better than any other country in the world is pomp pageantry military ceremony, and we’re putting the whole shebang on in two weeks time and it’s a moment for the light of the world to shine on our country and we can feel proud about it. “Rather than feeling ashamed and embarrassed because Boris has done something stupid again, or Liz Truss has tanked global markets.”
