Many thanks for the upload, waiting all week (no BBC licence). Alas poor Ireland, it looks like the occasion got to them. Magnificent performance by England with the lovely running and passing. I hope someone noticed that the admittedly few box kicks did nothing much other than give away possession. The French will lap that up, as Kildunne did with the Irish kicks. More offloads out of the tackle would be nice to see. Instead of charging until brought down, wouldn't it help to turn the back on the tackler, keeping the arms free to get off the pass like a basketball player?
I was watching the England Women Under 20's match against the Army. I think some of the players were given a dressing down after that match. The goal kicking was very good with only 3 missed conversions.
You have to love Sene Naopu's enthusiasm purely as a rugby fan about what was happening on the pitch . She didn't go down the easy path of dismissing the skill levels of the England players because Ireland are technically an amateur team. Why is it that England are penalised for England Rugby and the RFU for investing in the Women's game on all levels, instead of following the pattern of every other Country investing mainly in men's and boys rugby causing the women's and girls rugby in those countries to stagnate and potentially on the global scene for some countries to actually go backwards with regard to women's and girls rugby.
she was class as a player but its noticeable the worst bits of the commentary was from the the ones with no experience. I wonder if the likes of Poppy cleall will get a chance to play again with this side? We have a wealth of riches at the moment.
@Olafjabberwocky I think think the worst thing was Gabby Logan putting Claudia McDonald on the spot about her fiancee playing for Ireland. Not only was that unnecessary, but it was extremely unprofessional to bring up something that clearly has nothing to do about the game being played. The look on the face of Sene when she made the comments about Claudia's relationship should have told Gabby to shut her mouth and only focus on the rugby.
What a wonderful performance, artistry and skill. I am a huge fan and actually really looking forward to watching so much more. This is how rugby should be played. I am so fed up of the over muscled and under skilled men's game. I was involved with rugby at a college in the mid to late 90's and there was a group of young ladies wishing to play, I helped form a team and they actually played a couple of games. I was always worried literally sick if any of the players got hurt. Please understand some of the male prejudices in the women's game are born of protectionism not ridicule - that was just how I felt as a man. Watching this game has eased my conscience around some of the injuries I saw the girls receive which I still feel today. My player of the match was Scarratt - she was sublime. Kildunne was magnificent.
27 mins england maul brought down was almost a certain try ...penalty only ? 54 minutes irish maul stopped called use once and lucy packer tackles the waist of the forward yellow card penalty try ? why?
Sorry, but the constant commentary about discipline yellow/red cards is tedious. Find a modern, professional team, under the current laws doesn't get regular cards.
Yeah. The french had three yellows before the finale. Then they get yellow upgrade to red. The coaches tried to tell them it's the way the game is going with these cards.
An amazing scoreline, but as an England supporter I have to say the first 15 mins or so of the 2nd half was pretty dire, until they got back into scoring mode again. Hopefully, they’ll iron out the handling and other errors…
@@stephencrewes5773 Yes, there was that flash in the pan score, then it settled down into pretty dire slogging, and nothing more happened for England in that period, except under pressure on thier own line they gave away a penalty try to Ireland.
dannah o,brien ....useless..yes she can kick a goal ...absolutey nothing else kicking from hand too wayward and no chase cant tackle never chases her own kicks no accelerastion and just wanders around lost,,a luxury player ireland cannot afford to have with the state of thier game at the minute

Its better to be side on to the tackler to protect yourself.The only problem then is you maybe facing the wrong side.
Nope they just hit a great team. I remember Wales in the 80s
WoW Another outstanding game from the red roses well done ladys

I was at that game. What was the song people sang in the second half of the game?

does anyone else want to sing" beds are burning " when john mitchell appears or is it just me ?
this is what happens when all your funding goes into the mens team
Some great rugby marred only by the non-stop drivel by the lead commentartor. Give her early retirement and hand the mic to KD-M...
Why does this woman persist with saying she is in a studio when she is clearly standing on the side of a rugby pitch?

It's as if they hold England to higher standards.
@@stephencrewes5773 I think,they just applied the laws concerning how a player is allowed to join a maul.

They are, in effect, saying that they must not get Red cards, or yellow, against the Black Ferns.

Were you watching the same match? 3 minutes into the second half The Jess Express went over for try 7.

@@lawrieflowers8314 5 minutes after Breach's Sadia Kabeya went over for the 8th, what do you mean "nothing more happened" lmao
Its amazing that English women are good enough to play at the English men’s home.
This isn’t touch rugby. Those Irish women need to learn correct tackle techniques to be competitive.

Why is their not a single male analyst on so much for sex equality but the BBC are so pro women it’s beyond double standards.
