Scott Bemand, Ireland's head coach speaking to BBC Sport: "We are not perfect yet and we are trying to close gaps on the likes of England and France. I hope people can see the commitment that goes into it.
"We had to absorb pressure in the first half and it's a game that we could have gone in easily winning at half-time.
"We defended well and smartly. The second half we started picking up errors and we never recovered from the yellow card.
"We know to stay in the game as long as we did is a step forward from last year. It's not where we want to be but we have pride."

Ultimately Ireland just ran out of stream and that won't happen to England. They'll build on that first half and build the fitness of their side. By the time the World Cup comes around, we'll see where they are.

England attack coach Lou Meadows, speaking to BBC Sport: "We actually really enjoyed that test. We needed that and it's good for the game to have a first half like that. It was about fixing it and we knew we had good set-piece. We just didn't finish and fire our final shot.
"That's something we wanted to work on, the girls we really calm and came out and finished the job. You have to keep it really simple, so we thought 'let's clear it up', and we did."

Zoe Harrison speaking to BBC Sport: That was really tough especially the first-half. That one was about being patient. Ireland's defence was fantastic so credit to them. We needed to get our momentum back.
"The half-time talk changed our mindset. It was calm and we talked about where we were putting pressure on ourselves.
On returning after to playing: "It's been a tough journey, I wanted to get back playing food for the club and them come back to England when the time was right."

England struggled at the start against Wales and again today, but they have a great capacity for regrouping and have great strength and depth.

When you are bringing Bern and Cokayne of the bench. They are just getting better and better. It was just an abundance of riches. Ireland were just tired. England's bench is getting stronger and stronger.

Ireland brought it and challenged England all over the field. I thought the second-half was just about power.

That second-half was equally entertaining as the first. We all know England have this strength and depth and that was the turning point. Ireland lost their fight at the end but they stayed in it.

It was a different England after the restart.
