Natasha Hunt is in sublime form.
It's a great nine's try, heads up and there was a big space left by Ireland.
When England are in this form with speed at the breakdown, it's something Ireland are going to need to talk about it.
Natasha Hunt (con Holly Aitchison)
Made and finished by Natasha Hunt.
The scrum-half makes the initial break but is hauled down metres short.
England recycle and Hunt is back on her feet to pick up from the breakdown and stroll over.
Holly Aitchison adds the conversion.

You have got to stay away from that touchline and she does it really well - she had no right to score.

The roar that went up when Abby Dow ran in was spine-tingling. Twickenham is bouncing.
Abby Dow
Power and pace on the wing.
Alex Matthews makes valuable yards in midfield before the ball is moved wide, where Abby Down does the rest.
Two green shirts left in her wake and she opens England's account for the afternoon.
The conversion is missed but the hosts are on the board.

England 0-0 Ireland
First scrum for England and a first moment of dominance.
The ball is released for the backs and the move breaks down but that set-piece advantage for the hosts will be key.
England 0-0 Ireland

Rosie Galligan was the player of the match in round two against Wales at Ashton Gate.
Her ability in the line-out to nick ball is undisputed and a huge loss for England.

Really strong start from Ireland.
You can see the game-plan they have brought to England. Every time they get it they look to kick in behind.

Ireland scoop up the ball and start an attack from deep inside their own half.

The best ability is availability.
England prop Hannah Botterman has hit some of her best career form under new coach John Mitchell during the Women's Six Nations.
The 24-year-old has scored two tries in England's three victories and has made more than 170 metres with ball in hand, benefiting from consistent starts.
Since her Red Roses debut as an 18-year-old, Botterman was seen as a potential long-term starter, but the prop has been held back by a knee injury sustained at the World Cup in 2022, and further injury issues at last year's WXV tournament.

It feels incredible to be here.
To have this many people travel from all over the country shows where the game has gone to.
It's an incredibly exciting opportunity to be a part of it.

England sealed a Six Nations Grand Slam last year against France at Twickenham in front of a record women's crowd of 58,498.
The Red Roses are back at HQ for the first time since that record with over 48,000 expected against Ireland.
This comes after their victory in round two over Wales at Ashton Gate, which was in front of a record crowd of 19,705 for a game outside of Twickenham.
It does get you wondering if this was another Grand Slam decider would it have been fully packed?
Zero doubts from me anyway that it can be filled in 2025 when England host the World Cup.

On Sam Monaghan not being selected: "She is a big player for us with her leadership and she is fantastic.
"It has taken a bit longer to recover from it [last week's game]. It was a tough call, but we couldn't get her over the line for this one."

For anyone who has played rugby we all know tackling is a mental game. Yes technique is involved but a large portion of it is about bravery and desire.
England top the charts for red cards in this Women's Six Nations with two in three games – no other side has had a player sent off.
John Mitchell dismissed suggestions this is an issue and said he wants his side to continue playing "on the edge" and that risk means mistakes in technique can happen.
England captain Marlie Packer also revealed the Red Roses even train with less players to practice these scenarios.
I wonder in front of a big crowd will anyone tip over that edge today?
If so, as shown against Italy and Scotland the ruthless Red Roses were not affected after losing Sarah Beckett and Amy Cokayne.

On red cards in previous matches: "We are definitely aware of their behaviour and we make the girls repsonsible for adjustments, but we want to play on the edge.
"That is what we are all about and we are encouraging that.
"We like to play with 15, but we have dealt with unfrainess you have got to deal with it."
On missed goal kicks: "We do have weaknesses and we are aware of it.
"We are trying to keep the girls on process, we are happy to wait for development and when we get put into an arm-wrestle we might have to win it through kicking - it has not gone unnoticed."
