    I don't think England have fully been themselves in this first-half.

    Rule number one - don't put the ball down with one hand.

    That's a shocker!

  7. Half-time

    England 21-0 Ireland

    And that is the last action of the half.

    England could have been further ahead, and they may be frustrated that they have not quite clicked at times, while Ireland have been hamstrung by some basic errors but have had some promising moments.

  8. 'No try, no matter who Kildunne is'

    England 21-0 Ireland

    Anna Caplice
    Former Ireland international on BBC Two

    That is exactly how you recover from an error that was made a few minutes ago. No matter who Ellie Kildunne is, she will not score a try.

  9. No try

    England 21-0 Ireland

    Kildunne collected a short pass from Claudia Moloney-MacDonald and looked certain to score by the posts, but good work from Vicky Elmes Kinlan did just enough and the England superstar dropped the ball as she looked to dot down.

  10. Try review

    England 21-0 Ireland

    Ellie Kildunne crosses the line and touches down - or does she?

    We're going upstairs - it has not been given on the field.

  11. England 21-0 Ireland

    England attack, and there's yet another Ireland handling error.

    This time, Vicky Elmes Kinlan races onto a kick ahead but the ball comes out of her breadbasket to give England a scrum on the Ireland 22.

  12. England 21-0 Ireland

    Alex Campion steals an Irish lineout within England's 22, allowing Holly Aitchison the time to kick clear despite the close attentions of Cliodhna Moloney-MacDonald.

    Ireland get the ball back for a penalty, but Dannah O'Brien commits a basic error, kicking her penalty too far, beyond the corner flag and England get a scrum.

    Ireland have failed to take the few opportunities they have had.

  13. 'Ireland need to not over-complicate their line-out'

    Ireland need to make sure their line-outs are right and not over-complicate them.

    Really nice, well worked opportunist try from Sarah Bern.

    Great strike by Helena, everything is going to target.

    Converted try - England 21-0 Ireland

    Sarah Bern (Con: Rowland)

    The Bristol prop claims her second, supporting Claudia Moloney-MacDonald out wide to collect the offload and crash over by the flag.

    And to rub it in, Helena Rowland lands a superb conversion from out near the left-hand touchline.

    Aoife Wafer is being an absolute nuisance.

  17. England 14-0 Ireland

    England push Ireland back into their own 22, before Ireland's Dorothy Wall is caught offside. England kick the penalty to the corner - there's a rumble to come...

  18. England 14-0 Ireland

    Better at the scrum from Ireland as they win a penalty that Dannah O'Brien kicks to halfway.

    They move it to the right, but after a couple pf phases there is yet another fumble. England attack until Ellie Kildunne drops the ball, bringing the game back for the original infringement.

  19. England 14-0 Ireland

    Ireland are fluffing their lines - at a lineout in England's half, Sarah Bern manages to come away with the ball and England go onto the attack.

    Jess Breach and Ellie Kildunne combine on the right flank, but Kildunne is held up while on her knees, unable to get the ball away, and Ireland win a scrum - high fives all round.

  20. 'England standing static is making them huge targets'

    Anna Caplice

    It has been a thing with England that they don't have to be at their best to win games. You can tell they have had some time away and they are almost standing static making them huge targets.
