England Smash Ireland 88-10 in Women’s Six Nations Blitz
England delivered a stunning performance to hammer Ireland 88-10 in a fiery Women’s Six Nations clash. Stars Ellie Kildunne and Abby Dow stole the show, each bagging a hat-trick of tries to lead the hosts to a crushing victory.
Record-Breaking Rampage Nearly Hit
England came close to smashing their record Six Nations win — an 89-0 thrashing of Scotland back in 2011. Despite falling just short, their 88 points against Ireland on April 27 kept their unbeaten streak intact this season. Having already dominated Italy, Wales, and Scotland, England stormed into the Ireland game brimming with confidence.
Les Bleues Poised to Pounce
With England riding high, the only serious threat to their reign is France. The French squad, aka Les Bleues, have their sights set on the title. A vital victory over Wales this Sunday could keep their championship hopes alive, setting up a blockbuster showdown with England later this month in Bordeaux.
Players Shine in England’s Show of Strength
Ellie Kildunne, crowned player of the match, praised the team’s fluid performance. “No discredit to Ireland, but we really turned it on when we needed to. It became running rugby, everyone knew their role—it was enjoyable,” said the 24-year-old full-back.
Winger Abby Dow, 26, ripped through the Irish defence to complete her treble by the 63rd minute. Kildunne then sealed the deal with her final try six minutes from time, wrapping up a dominant display.
England’s Ruthless Reign Rolls On
England’s supremacy in the Women’s Six Nations is unquestionable. They’ve clinched five titles in a row and recorded an astonishing 28 straight wins in the tournament. France remains their fiercest rival, but England’s relentless hunger for victory is crystal clear.
“We have a real drive in our team right now,” Dow added. “We will never take our foot off the gas, and we always want to do more.”
