Captain Meg Jones named player of the match as England win 34th consecutive Test match
Two Sarah Bern tries and one from Amy Cokayne gave dominant England 21-0 half-time lead
Jess Breach scored her 54th England try to clinch bonus point before Anna McGann replied
Ellie Kildunne raced clear to touch down but captain Erin King scored battling Ireland's second try
Anna McGann
With Natasha Hunt limping off, and England wondering how to reshuffle their backline, Ireland taker advantage and get onto the scoresheet!
They move the ball right, scrum-half Emily Lane feeds a short pass off a maul and Anna McGann does superbly, under pressure from English tacklers, to twist around and get the ball just over the line.

There's a whole lot of strapping going on to the right knee, and Natasha Hunt is fit enough to carry on.
That break also gave us the chance to see Marlie Packer, albeit with a yellow bib on and carrying drinks to those that need it.
England 28-0 Ireland
Natasha Hunt is down and needing treatment, the game pauses while she is seen to.
Ireland must be frustrated that good spells, in defence or attack, have been undone by drops or charge-downs like the one that resulted in Breach's try.

Ellie Kildunne seems to be running great ‘dummy’ lines but taking the ball. It’ll come off before long, either as the dummy or misread by the defence. Want to also mention Maddie Feaunati - I think the very last blade of grass has just been trodden upon.

Jess Breach's 54th England try on her 54th cap, in the 54th minute of the game. She is currently joint third with Emily Scarratt in the England rankings.

And that Jess Breach effort also gives England a bonus point for their fourth try of the afternoon.

Really nice bit of play for England. It was a great chase and a lovely pick up from Jess.

Yes, she certainly did!
Meg Jones charged down an Irish kick, and then chipped cleverly ahead allowing Jess Breach the chance to race through.
She managed to latch onto the ball, and despite an incoming tackle, she grounded it to record her 54th try in her 54th international.

It looks like a wonderful try - but was the ball grounded?

After a couple of resets and some stern words from the referee, Ireland do well to clear with Emily Lane doing well to flip the ball back to Dannah O'Brien.
She clears to halfway, and Ellie Kildunne cannot get free from the green shirts that bear down on her.

An England attack is stopped by fine work from Cliodhna Moloney-MacDonald, but England then attack to the right and Ellie Kildunne looks to be slicing through.
But the full-back is stopped in her tracks and is held standing up, giving Ireland the ball at a scrum five metres out.

Huge roars from England's front row as they disrupt an Irish scrum and win a penalty that gives England the chance to kick clear.
Another chance for Ireland goes begging.

Lock Morwenna Talling was one of England's unsung World Cup heroes.
Zoe Stratford, Abbie Ward and Rosie Galligan, who have all played in the second row under John Mitchell, all recently announced their pregnancies.
Talling's injury looks like it could be serious and is a big opportunity for Haineala Lutui, who usually plays in the back row.
England 21-0 Ireland
Ireland get a penalty from the scrum, and Dannah O'Brien's kick to the England 22 is dropped by Ellie Kildunne.
The full-back feels it didn't go forwards, but the referee Clara Munarini thinks otherwise.
England 21-0 Ireland
The replacement gets an early touch, smashing onto the ball in the centre as England spin it wide from a lineout.
Sadia Kabeya makes good yardage with a forceful run down the right, but England lose the ball in the tackle and Ireland have the chance to clear from a scrum in their own half.

Talling is not a soft girl, she will run through brick walls. So this is tough for England right now.
A visibly frustrated Talling is placed onto the truck and taken off, giving replacement Haineala Lutui her first England cap.

Dannah O'Brien chips ahead nicely, it's plucked from the air by Brittany Hogan who then feeds to Aoife Dalton. Ireland push England back, but frustratingly Hogan is then caught offside.
During that passage of play, Morwena Talling goes to the floor with an injury and the game stops so the lock can be seen too.
England 21-0 Ireland
Dannah O'Brien's kick-off is easily taken by Helena Rowland, and Holly Aitchison then clears her kick down to halfway.
No substitutions as yet.
HT: England 21-0 Ireland
Half-time has seen dancing cowgirls keep the crowd entertained, and (of course) 'Dancing queen' by ABBA played at top volume but now the teams are back out and we are all set for the second half.
