So good to watch the Red Roses play with flair. Ireland offered little in first half but woke up with a bit of self belief in the second.
Obviously a two horse race for the title but good rugby being played.

Down side was Natasha Hunt and Morwenna Talling will be out with “long-term” injuries.

Great day out, with tickets from £20, or £10 if you work for the NHS. Only downside was that I had trouble working out what the ref decisions were. We were on the back row of the top deck! Would it be so bad for them to just say it over the PA system?

Off topic but wasn't sure where to post it and not sure if its been mentioned.

Picked up tickets for this in the season ticket window, there are tickets available, standing 15, seated 25-30 ish

Any decent ref should give clear signals (they aren't always perfectly clear, but at top level, at least, they usually are). If you are not familiar with those signals, they are explained Here
