Make a date in your diary and we'll see you then!
Ireland 0-48 England
Head coach Simon Middleton on BBC Two on prospect of facing France for the title at Twickenham: "It's going to be a great occasion and experience but it'll only be great if we get the performance and the result we want. It's another benchmark moment. I just hope it's a really good game.
"We have quite a bit of work to do in terms of fixing people up and also in terms of how we play."

"Marlie Packer would be a significant loss because she galvanises this side and typifies the way they play. She's aggressive and takes the ball to the line but the good thing is they have depth and can fill those positions. They have other leaders as well.
"I feel for Marlie if she can't play against France at Twickenham because it's such a big game."

Natasha Hunt's comments show what high standards England expect of themselves, don't they?
This week at training could be pretty intense ahead of the France game in front of over 50,000 at Twickenham.
Ireland 0-48 England
England scrum-half Natasha Hunt on BBC Two:
"It feels bittersweet because we're very frustrated how we went about it but I am so proud to be back with the girls. It's such an honour to play for your country and get another shot to pull the jersey on
"Our breakdown was a mess today and made my job really difficult. We need to look at that but there are loads of positives. We were also a bit loose with the ball coming out wide, but they are easy fixes if we all work together."
Ireland 0-48 England

Ireland can take a lot away from this game, in the second half especially.

It makes a difference when you lose your captain and a key player like Hannah Botterman. All week England have heard how poor this Ireland side are and it was almost as if they didn't have a plan B in the second half.
It should have been a better game and England should have been much better than that.

In the second half England gave away penalties, were loose with their skills, weren't as clinical as usual and ended up with 18 unforced errors in the game. That is a huge number and you will not get away with that against a better side such as France next week.
Ireland 0-48 England
It's all over, the result was expected but England were not at their clinical best and they will be looking to improve significantly for France next week.
Alex Matthews (Conversion Helena Rowland)
England are not done deep into the red zone, and the number eight is unstoppable from close range after a scrum. Helena Rowland slots the conversion over from in front of the posts.

England's fitness and power are showing in these late stages as the number eight waltzes through to dot down right under the posts
Sarah Hunter
Former England captain on BBC Two
Sarah Beckett has been outstanding from minute one whether that's making bursts with the ball or defensive tackles. She thoroughly deserves the player-of-the-match award.
Ireland 0-34 England
Ireland are still showing some great spirit, Ailsa Hughes making a nice break to ease some pressure from within their own 22. They may not have anything to show for it, but the home side have played out of their skins in the second half.

That shows you what England can do when they keep it simple and recycle the ball. They were forcing the pass earlier but that try was from strong, direct and simple play. When they do that well it's unstoppable.
Amber Reed (Conversion Helena Rowland)
England go back to basics, a short pass from Holly Aitchison to Amber Reed gives the sub a simple chance to smash over the line from a couple of metres out.
Ellie Kildunne zooms over the line on the left, but the referee immediately calls a forward pass in the build up and a baffled-looking Kildunne doesn't get her second of the day.
Ireland 0-27 England
England have made 11 handling errors so far, summing up a stuttering display today.
Ireland 0-27 England
Ireland lose another opportunity, Lauren Delany trying a grubber kick over on the right but it hits an England foot to rebound and give them a chance to clear.
It sums up a scrappy second half perfectly.
Ireland 0-27 England
Ireland have another chance with a lineout in the England 22, but for the umpteenth time the throw doesn't go to hand and England have the chance to clear.
Ireland 0-27 England
Holly Aitchison elects to chip over the top into the corner, but it's just too high for Ellie Kildunne as she leaps right by the corner flag.
