England 27-0 IrelandImpressive Red Roses seal bonus point by half-timeEngland have already had to deal with extremes in weather so far in this tournament, from a blazing hot day in
France to a storm-lashed date with
Scotland, and on a squally and sunny afternoon in Doncaster their power and precision proved too much for Ireland.
The Red Roses made it three wins from three with 14 points from a possible 15, staying on course to defend their Women’s Six Nations title with a second straight grand slam against a battling
Ireland outfit in front of a sell-out crowd of 5,000 at Castle Park. Ireland, who like
England arrived unbeaten, were committed and physical, but the hosts’ clinical approach meant the contest was over by half-time.
