England successfully defended their title with a convincing 33-12 victory over Ireland, playing in front of a record-breaking crowd of 77,120 spectators in the Women's Six Nations tournament. The English team, led by their hooker Amy Cokayne and prop Sarah Bern, dominated the first half, scoring 21 unanswered points. England's Jess Breach made history by scoring her 54th try, securing a bonus point for her team. Ireland eventually found their footing, with replacement Anna McGann scoring their first try after an hour of play. However, England's Ellie Kildunne sealed the deal with a fifth try, while Ireland's captain Erin King managed a consolation try under the posts. Currently on a 34-game winning streak, England is on track to achieve their fifth consecutive Six Nations Grand Slam and eighth title in a row. Meanwhile, France has taken the top spot in the Women's Six Nations table due to their superior points difference after beating Italy 40-7.

In another match, Scotland narrowly defeated Wales 24-19 at the Principality Stadium. In a post-match interview, England's captain Meg Jones expressed her pride in the team's performance, stating, 'There were always going to be nerves, but we found ways to win and dominated the set-piece.' Ireland's head coach Scott Bemand praised the English team, saying, 'That's a very good Red Roses team - world champions and currently No 1 in the world.' He also commended the spirit shown by the Irish team in the second half. England's next match is against Scotland at Murrayfield on April 18, while Ireland will host Italy at the Dexcom Stadium in Galway on the same day.
