    With the U20s having delivered the goods, England's women now have the opportunity to add the second Grand Slam of the day.

    They managed 12 tries against Scotland last time out, with winger Kay Wilson clocking a record seven scores on the way to a 64-0 win.

    But standing in their way tonight are an Ireland side who are also unbeaten in this year's tournament.

    And what could be better than beating the English on St Patrick's Day on home turf?

    In the first game of the 'Donnybrook double' England U20s beat Ireland U20s 14-10, securing the first of three Grand Slams on offer for England rugby this weekend.

    Tries from Jack Nay and Henry Walker gave England a 14-3 half-time lead but Ireland's Gavin Coombes scored with 15 minutes to play and set up a tense finale.

    England had already secured the Six Nations title but claimed their first Grand Slam since 2011.
