I think Ireland will regroup and give England another tough half. It's just whether they can get on the scoreboard to make it a tight finish.

The big ball carriers have worked well for England and they have put their runners away to score the tries.

Sam: England’s forwards totally dominant with their running game in this first half. Experienced heads making an impact too; Hunter and Daley-McLean playing clever rugby.

England's Katy Daley-Mclean sends a kick into Ireland's 22, but no one is chasing for the Red Roses.

Nicole Fowley kicks to touch to bring the first half to an end.

Leah Lyons is off! She grabs hold of Leanne Riley's offload, but the hooker doesn't quite have the pace to make it to the tryline.

Almost a brilliant offload by England centre Tatyana Heard. She breaks through and holds onto the ball just a second too long to find Emily Scarratt, who is brought down before she can take the pass.

Ireland are on the counterattack on the halfway line.

Ireland keep hold of the line-out, but full-back Lauren Delany knocks the ball on.

England scrum just inside their 10m line.

England wing Kelly Smith brings England into Ireland's half, but the Red Roses are penalised at the ruck.

England's defence has been phenomenal but I think Ireland should punch up first and then look for offloads.

Amy Cokayne comes on for flanker Marlie Packer, who has picked up an injury.

Ireland have a 5m scrum. Hannah Botterman and Fiona Reidy are on their best behaviour now and the scrum stays strong.

The hosts make little progress with the ball, there are white shirts everywhere.

Brilliant defence from Ireland's Aoife McDermott. She grabs Breach's arm to bring her down inches from the tryline.

The momentum seems to have shifted in England's favour now. They make quick work with the restart and in a flash, Jess Breach has the ball on the right wing and might have gone over.

We're going to the TMO to check.

It was a good kick through and Sarah McKenna showed her pace to get a strong hand on the ball and score the try.

She ended up in the camera equipment after so that was real commitment from the full-back.

Sarah Bern shows phenomenal pace. She has got England out of danger and I think she is their best exit. She is flying like an athlete.

The resulting scrum gives the referee cause to talk to Hannah Botterman and Fiona Reidy. The two props haven't quite got it right yet today.

The scrum stays up though and Ireland get the ball out safely.

What a carry from Sarah Bern! She looks more like a centre than a prop.

She steals the ball at the line-out and makes it up to the halfway line. England recycle quickly to find Jess Breach on the right wing and it looked as if we were going to have a repeat of England's first try. But the winger spills it forward.

Hannah Botterman reclaims the restart and puts in another impressive carry. It takes at least three Ireland players to bring the prop down.

Great work from Ireland's Claire Molloy at the breakdown and she wins the penalty. A great kick from Nicole Fowley gives Ireland a line-out inside the England 22.

There has been some really good defence by Ireland so far.

They are playing on the edge, but you have to do that against England. They are eight points down now and they will be looking to get back into this.

No problems for the England fly-half from right in front of the post.
