'England have got to focus on England... we are trying to close that gap as quickly as we can'

Scott Bemand’s Ireland are heavy underdogs this weekend against an England side who have scored 140 points so far, and conceded just 10.

IRELAND HEAD COACH Scott Bemand believes his players are more than capable of causing headaches for England in their Women’s Six Nations clash at Twickenham Stadium this Saturday.

“You talk around breaking the game down and you go after your first moments. Then you’ve got to do it again. In the build-up to last year’s meeting in Cork last year, head coach Simon Middleton acknowledged there was a need to make the games in the Women’s Six Nations more competitive. “England have got to focus on what England do. It’s not up to them to play down to other teams. They’ve got to focus on us and it’s up to us to get after our own performances, our own playing pool, our style of play, how we train for it. Are we doing that? I would say we are.
