Morwenna Talling, Zoe Harrison, Meg Jones, Ellie Kildunne, Sarah Bern (two), Kelsey Clifford score tries for Red Roses as they recover from tough first half to race away with Women’s Six Nations win vs Ireland in Cork; Ireland led in competitive first half through Amee-Leigh Costigan try
Last Updated: 12/04/25 6:50pm
England’s Red Roses brushed off a tough first half against Ireland in Cork to come from behind and race away to a 49-5 victory.
Ireland – who lost to England 88-10 at Twickenham last year – put in a superb first-half performance filled with great physical effort, taking the lead through Amee-Leigh Costigan’s fantastic try.
England lock Morwenna Talling responded with a maul try before the end of the half, but it was a second-half sin-binning to Ireland loosehead Niamh O’Dowd which really saw the game get away from the hosts – Red Roses fly-half Zoe Harrison and centre Meg Jones getting over for tries.
Replacement prop Sarah Bern then emerged to score two tries, before full-back Ellie Kildunne scored with a stunning individual effort and prop Kelsey Clifford got over for her first England try to complete the scoring.
What’s next?
England next host Scotland at Welford Road in Leicester for round four on Saturday April 19 (4.45pm kick-off).

Meet Bucs OL Ben Chukwuma, NFL-bound two years after his first football game
Greg Auman NFL Reporter <!--> TAMPA, Fla. — In February 2020, the football program at Georgia State held an open tryout for potential walk-ons, and about 40 students showed up to run through drills. But only one made an assistant hurry into head coach Shawn Elliott's office."He said, 'I don't know if this guy can play, but he's massive,'" Elliott recalled. "I said, 'Where is he?' and he pointed him out on the field. I said, 'Tell that dude he doesn't have to go through tryouts. We're going to take him, regardless. He's got a roster spot.'"That was the first step for Ben Chukwuma, who moved to Georgia from his native Nigeria when he was 17, loving soccer and basketball but knowing nothing at all about American football. The past five years have been a slow but persistent journey, but […]
Hvězda NBA Lillard si přetrhl Achillovu šlachu
Vážným zranění skončilo pro Lillarda třetí utkání po návratu na palubovky po měsíční pauze, kterou si vyžádala krevní sraženina v pravém lýtku. Kvůli ní přišel o 15 zápasů.„Tohle je těžké. Nejdřív krevní sraženina a teď tohle. Je to skvělý chlapík, tohle si nikdo nezaslouží. Je mi kvůli tomu mizerně,“ řekl trenér Doc Rivers po nedělním utkání. Bucks podlehli Indianě 103:129 a prohrávají v sérii 1:3.Damian Lillard underwent an MRI today that revealed a torn left Achilles tendon. Lillard will miss the remainder of the 2025 playoffs and undergo surgery to repair the injury. pic.twitter.com/Ag0jYBOh9n— Milwaukee Bucks (@Bucks) April 28, 2025 Devítinásobný účastník Utkání hvězd Lillard měl v základní části průměr 24,9 bodu a přes sedm asistencí. Za Milwaukee nastupoval druhou sezonu. Díky smlouvě, kterou podepsal ještě s Portlandem, si má v příštím ročníku vydělat 54 milionů dolarů a má opci na další rok za 58 milionů dolarů.
