    In fairness to Ireland they tried their best but just not up to it. Fair play to them anyway

    It is what it is. Pros against amateurs. Hate saying FairPlay they tried their best as it sounds condescending and wouldn’t be said if the men had that score but it really isn’t a level playing field

    There’s a lot of low hanging fruit there for a coaching setup if the IRFU ever find the will to fully support one

    The fact that England team are professional really showed but also the skill level of some of them was just a step above, noticed the English 9's passing was absolutely brilliant.

    More crowds like that though and maybe the day where we have a pro womens team isn't too far away.

    That scrum is so dominant. Should produce a few penalties.

    Pretty even so far - actually a really good competitive contest.

    Great to see Ali Miller back

    Some monster hits so far from Ireland. Gaineline carries at will.

    They're just not incisive at the 22 and not kicking enough.

    Lucky to get away with that. Only way Scotland have any chance is Irish errors. Gap in talent is pretty wide

    In fairness there was quite a good turnout at Donnybrook last week iirc. But I totally agree with your point.

    I was in the company of one Americas leading women in American business recently.
    She was complaining about all the men she had to suffer in her line of work.
    She was asking me about the situation regarding women in leading roles in Irish businesses .
    She was telling me all the pga / tennis etc tournaments she had attended.
    I told her .... All of them were men's events .
    She had never been to a women's event !!!
    It hit her .... She said and I quote
    " I'm a hypocrite "
    How are women events going to prosper if I as a women don't support them .
