    Smart play from England.

    They absorb a lot of Ireland's attack and England are happy to let Ireland have the ball.

    There was an Irish error and it was straight into attack.

    Pure speed.

    England catch the high ball and are straight onto the attack.

    It's spun wide to Jess Breach who wins the foot race with Katie Corrigan.

    Holly Aitchison misses the conversion.

    England 38-3 Ireland

    Ireland do well to counter-ruck and pinch the ball at the breakdown.

    But the ball wide is poor and they lose momentum as England steal it back.

    England's forwards have been dominant.

    There has been quick ruck-speed and then good use of the hands, England throughout this first half have been strong in brushing off the tackles.

    Ireland have been hesitant and passive in defence.

    Sophie Ellis-Bextor is the half-time entertainment!

    Some decent tunes. Can't say I know a lot of them to sing along, but the crowd are loving it.

    I do know Murder on the Dancefloor which has everyone on their feet signing along.

    It was Rag'n'Bone Man last month for the men's team so this is something to get used to.

    England have been ruthless, they are smashing through.

    England are super hard to defend and they have been doing the basics well - it's proving to be a difficult day for Ireland.

    By far the best I have seen England play in an opening half in this year's Six Nations.

    After a convincing 36-5 victory over Wales in Cork last weekend there was a lot of hope for this Irish side.

    However, England at Twickenham is a massive step up, even for an improving Ireland under new head coach Scott Bemand.

    England dominant. Ireland despondent.

    Meg Jones is over but she is denied by a forward pass in the build-up.

    That will be that for half time.

    We're into the red at the end of the first half but England have no intention of returning to the sheds.

    They're hungry for more points.

    What a try!

    The quality of rugby England are playing at the moment is great. They have always had this potential and it's a clever try.

    It is good quality skills and that is what England are getting right today.

    Dow at the Double.

    A couple of minutes after having her try chalked off, Abby Dow would not be denied this time.

    It's another flowing England move finished off by the wing.

    Holly Aitchison misses the conversion.

    Ireland defence coach Declan Danaher said the first 20 minutes were vital for his side's chances at Twickenham.

    Enough said on that one.

    Abby Dow is unbelievable to watch.

    It was a world class finish from Abby Dow, but for me it isn't a try - there is clear separation.

    Indeed, Abby Dow loses control of the ball and the try is chalked off.
