England have won the Women's Six Nations six years on the bounce for a reason. The Red Roses started their Grand Slam bid with a convincing 38-5 victory over Italy in York, but better was to come in Wales the following week. Full-back Ellie Kildunne, on her 50th cap, scored a hat-trick of tries as England ran out 67-12 winners in Cardiff.

It’s a scoreline that masks a superb first-half effort from the Irish who took the lead midway through that opening period.

Reigning women's Six Nations champions England thrashed Ireland 49-5 on Saturday to stay on track for a seventh straight title. With two rounds to play, it is likely the Six Nations title will come down to the last game of the tournament between England and France at Twickenham on April 26.
