Sophie Ellis-Bextor singing her ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ anthem as part of the half-time entertainment at Twickenham was very much on theme with the carnage England inflicted on Ireland in the Women’s Six Nations. The outcome was worse than anyone could have predicted for Ireland against the best team in the world, with head coach Scott Bemand admitting after he didn’t see that margin of defeat coming.
England were at their lethal best with 14 tries in a 88-10 win in front of an attendance of 48,778. Yes you read those numbers correct; 88-10. The final scoreline just missed the record for the heaviest defeat Ireland have ever suffered to England in the history of the Women’s Six Nations. In 2002, it finished 79-0 to England in Worcester. Escaping a record defeat isn’t a small mercy. This was utter demolition on the dancefloor.
