Great refereeing, communication and respect from the players. Great to see.

[Seanc]

Well done Red Roses 🌹 A mention for Italy in restricting England to the one score in the second half.

[DanSivyer-bp]

These girls are just great
Love you all

[richardyeoman-vz]

He needs to write a new chapter on the expenses off England where war Jess brech and why was the best fullback in the world on the bench

[BooksandArmchair]

And still…… Red Roses continue their undefeated streak. Excellent performance 🌹Magnificent 7 is on

[CPDutch]

At least the ladies 6N refs, know what a forward pass is 👍🏼

[matthapps]

Im a huge Red Roses fan but today I can only say we played rubbish compared to our normal selves. Way way waaay too many dropped balls, knock ons and silly mistakes which didnt bite us in the ass against Italy but will do against better opposition.

[martinkelly]

Great to see refereeing to that standard.

[TheSteamrock]

Well done the red roses, watched the full game on the beeb including a strange moment where Hannah botterman seemed to have ants in her pants😮

[michaelvidal]

For an experimental side they did well. As others have said the wheels came off a bit in te second half. My uestion is did they wait too long to bring Kildunne on?

[martinluke]

Knock on by Venner before the second try. How did they miss it?

[FordPrefect-Earth]

It's *"The Red Roses".*
*NOT* *_"The Pink Petals"!_*

[jeantau]

Bon, ok, l'Angleterre aurait gagner de toutes façons MAIS je trouve qu'il y a un en-avant flagrant sur le deuxième essai des anglaises, pas vous ?

[Tyson]

Trap bar me . Ma nonu said it was why he e
could smash through tackles . England no 8 take note . Life changing advice for any rugby player that wants to be a superstar.

Red roses are a great rugby team….but the performance against Italy was well below par, should have played the first team then introduced some new players. Venner is not Dow her hand offs are sublime venner didn’t produce one, the only bright spark was shekel, that’s my view.
