England 88-10 Ireland: Women’s Six Nations – as it happened | Six Nations for women

Louis Deaconforwards coach, says they want to sell Twickenham before the next World Cup.

He also says: “I’m a maul fan. We used our maul to absorb their defenses.”

Maggie Alphonsi asks Deacon if the lack of competitiveness in these games is a problem. His response is not very complimentary to their rivals.

“We get our competitiveness at practice … the girls really get together at practice …

“That’s where our competitiveness is, in training, to be honest with you.”

Scott Bemand, Ireland head coach, speaks: “Irish girls are quite a young bunch…coming up to an occasion like this…the girls have to rise to the occasion. I think we looked quite young.

“After the break the girls showed something after a reasonably bruising first half.

“Ireland haven’t scored a point against England for three years I think (not since 2019 actually) … so it’s a small win.

“We’ll take our lessons from this … the great thing about sports is you can go again.”

“We have some really good players coming through. It is instructive to put it there on these occasions.

“We have to stay positive. England played really well, credit to them honest… we’ll get on with things, we want to get some shots in these big games and we’ll get on from that.”

Abby Dow, another triple hero from England, has a talk: “We always want to do more…it’s incredible to be a part of. We’ve had Meg (Jones) go to 10, Holly (Aitchison) go to nine… hopefully it’s great to watch.

“(It’s about) taking the easy option, which sometimes isn’t that easy… We came out as one, we played as one… credit to Ireland, they tried to play their game plan.. .but I found some channels that were maybe a little weaker.

“John Mitchell asked us new questions… How good can we be?”

Megan Jones says: “We are all outstanding rugby players… Our connections grow stronger.”

Kildunne speaks to the BBC. What’s it like to be her, Sonja McLaughlan asks: “She’s like any other girl. We are so happy to play in front of this crowd.

“No disrespect to Ireland but we really turned it on, it became rugby to run and it was enjoyable.

“We talk a lot about taking the handbrake off … keep trying new things … he (Mitchell) gives us confidence and belief and we just do our job.

“A game like today… we don’t think too far ahead. Let’s consider what just happened. 48,000 people came to watch us play and next week there will probably be 48,000 French fans. We’ll take it as it comes.
