England's speed of ball, you see them making metres. It's going to be really hard for Ireland to make that and slow that ball down.

Ireland win the throw this time and O'Brien launches it downfield.

Abby Dow does really well to keep the ball in play, but she's shovelled into touch by Eve Higgins and Amee-Leigh Costigan.

That's the biggest cheer of the game so far - from both the crowd and Higgins. Mega defence and Ireland have the throw.

Dannah O'Brien puts in a big hit to stop Jess Breach as she looked to dart through a gap.

England's pressure is building but Ireland hold firm so far....and win the penalty!

Hannah Botterman ran in front of Natasha Hunt and was pinged for crossing.

We're having a couple of attempts at getting this one started.

The Irish crowd are trying to will their side on, but England win the set-piece with ease.

England pinch it at the line-out and are immediately into the Ireland half as the fowards fire it through the hands.

Zoe Harrison puts some big pressure on full-back Stacey Flood with a lovely wee kick through, and Flood actually knocked it on as she went to scoop it up.

This is in a great position for England.

Just like she was last year, Aurelie Groizeleau is in charge of this one.

She blows her whistle after Morwenna Talling failed to roll away at a ruck.

O'Brien fires it into touch in the England half.

Ireland spill it forward and Jess Breach looks to stretch her legs on the wing. She beats one green shirt but is put into touch by Hogan.

England played through the advantage and Ireland will have the throw.
