England’s Red Roses put on a show at Twickenham as they smashed Ireland 88-10
A rampant Red Roses put Ireland to the sword in Round 4 of the Women’s Six Nations at Twickenham, scoring 14 tries in a 88-10 demolition in front of nearly 49,000 fans.
An outstanding first-half performance saw the Red Roses score six tries – four of them inside the opening 20 minutes – through wing Abby Dow (two), scrum-half Natasha Hunt, centre Meg Jones, lock Zoe Aldcroft and full-back Ellie Kildunne.
Left wing Jess Breach and blindside flanker Sadia Kabeya scored early second-half tries for England, with Jones grabbing her second after Ireland had forced a penalty try and Lucy Packer sin-binning (maul collapse).
There remained time for Dow to complete her hat-trick, Kildunne to grab a hat-trick of her own, Breach to score again, and replacement back-row Maddie Feaunati to score on her debut.
What’s next?
England finish their campaign by travelling to face France in Bordeaux next Saturday April 27 in what is likely to be a Grand Slam-decider for both sides (4.45pm kick-off).
For Ireland, they host Scotland next Saturday April 27 in Cork, looking for a second win of the campaign (2.30pm kick-off).
