Greg McWilliams’ side hosted the defending champions at Musgrave Park.
Sinead Farrell Reports From Musgrave Park Ireland 0 England 48 A DOMINANT ENGLAND display was expected and the number one ranked side in the world delivered on the prediction with a forceful display in Musgrave Park.
The game was preceded by a slight disruption in the crowd. Ahead of kick-off, a woman was seen handing out flyers bearing the words ‘I Give A Fuck’ to some of the supporters gathered in the stadium. She was pursued by security who stopped her from distributing any more of the material, and was flanked by stewards in her seat.

That left Ireland trailing by 10 points as centre Lagi Tuima missed both conversions. The full-back Ellie Kildunne added their third six minutes later. That honour almost fell to Tatyana Heard who was sent sprinting through after receiving the ball from Beckett. Christy Haney did brilliantly to haul her down but England simply recycled the ball and spread the play out wide to allow the full-back make a dart over the tryline. Tuima missed out on the extras from the conversion kick.
Ireland spent quality time in England’s half of the pitch which was a major positive in the face of a big deficit.
