THAT'S how you deal with an Ireland rugby team!

(Shame about the 5 though)

Thanks ladies!

Brilliant first half. Harder tests ahead but great start.

They should do well in this competition, quite a few of them are plying their trade with English teams which helps a lot.

England will be a huge test for them, but hopefully they can put a smile back on our faces. Genuinely looking forward to the next game against Scotland.

Good win for the women today. Too many penalties given away but a BP win away is not to be sniffed at. Huge effort from our starting front row who played the whole 80 bar 45 seconds.

Nice to see things looking rosy somewhere, at least. Every reason to hope the girls can get a minimum of 3/5 now.

Even if England are rebuilding, I think they will be too strong. And France battered Ireland yesterday which is ominous. But these are steps in the right direction and over time we will improve still further and close the gap with the top teams.

its shit tho, lets be honest.

Different expectations, Tuco. I enjoy watching women's matches. Not sure I'll enjoy the England game though.

I don't tend to watch women's rugby (although current form might change my mind) but for some reason I'm perfectly happy watching men's or women's athletics. I guess with athletics they've always been mixed in together.

The pace of the game is far slower and the skills aren't the same. That said, look at a mens game from the 70s or 80s and its not too dissimilar.

I expect us to get a lesson from England but our team is doing well compared to recent years.

Proper stuffing by England today. Wales did well until the dam broke and England ran in tries for fun. Having said that, Wales gave them a good game until half time and I'll count that as a step forward.

Reality can hit brutally hard at times. As you say, some clear steps forward which is good and we can build on. Hopefully we can bounce back for Italy.
