From the image I’ve just seen, it looks like a bad ankle break.

Like Rowland at 15.
Fabulous looking side with the added bonus of Aldcroft back in it.

Effortless clear of a kick, absorb five phases, win penalty, driving maul try.

Pushover try, 10-0. Lots of errors from England. Ireland a class below in everything, sadly.

Ireland pur some phases together despite being ragdolled. Won a penalty kick and missed it horribly in front of the posts.

So many errors, the worst I've seen the red roses play in a while.

Ireland no22 with a high tackle on Infante first? All, erm, handbags, though.

Yes, but they've done nothing at all. England blowing things left, right and centre.

I'd say Ireland are getting a few sympathy calls from the ref now, exacerbating England's inaccuracies at the breakdown.

Very peculiar set of decisions. Just needed to retake the penalty.

Reset needed. That last crossfield attempt summed it up.

Better already. However the first half had similarly effortless start.

Packer can now add wing to her list of positions she plays.

Yeah, not malicious but seems odd given the way that has been referreed lately. I'm guessing that's breach's game over after all....
