England Women Thrash Ireland 88-10 in Record Win at Twickenham, Remain on Course for Grand Slam

In a record-breaking performance, England’s women’s rugby team secured a stunning 88-10 victory over Ireland in the Women’s Six Nations at Twickenham. The Red Roses put on a dominant display in front of a crowd of 48,778, with Abby Dow and Ellie Kildunne both scoring hat-tricks to lead their team to victory.

The match saw a flurry of tries from the England side, with Megan Jones and Jess Breach also contributing two tries each. Natasha Hunt, Zoe Aldcroft, Sadia Kabeya, and Maddie Feaunati all crossed the try line, showcasing the team’s attacking prowess.

England’s previous record win over Ireland was a 79-0 victory in 2002, but this latest triumph sets up a potential Grand Slam decider against France next Saturday. Both teams are undefeated in the tournament and will be vying for the title in what promises to be an exciting showdown.

Head coach John Mitchell praised his team’s performance, highlighting the high tempo and bravery displayed by the players. The Red Roses’ attacking strategy clicked into place at Twickenham, with Kildunne standing out as a star performer with her exceptional running and finishing abilities.

Despite Ireland’s struggles to contain England’s lethal backs, they managed to score their first try against the Red Roses in five years. With a final game against Scotland on the horizon, Ireland will be looking to secure a top-three finish in the standings and qualify for the World Cup in 2025.

The result extends England’s winning streak in the Six Nations to 28 games, solidifying their dominance in the competition. However, France poses a significant challenge to their record next week, setting the stage for an intense battle for the title.
