There will come a day when England’s dominance in the Women’s Six Nations ends. Their run of consecutive wins in the tournament, standing at 28, will be broken. But Ireland could not stop England on a windy day.

The Red Roses’ stranglehold has long been talked about and it was evident as to why with a 14-try performance when they gained the bonus point before 20 minutes.
