I wouldn’t rate my chances of stopping Sisilia Tuipulotu even in my playing days. She’s a force of nature!

Indeed, she is! But, at least for the time being, she's more the exception to the rule. Maybe women's rugby will eventually end up like the men's game, where nearly all the players are ginormous. Best to enjoy it before it gets to that stage, as it will be a different game then. Still enjoyable, but different.

Not the best game ever. Some poor handling from both teams. Italy defended well in the first half but they had little or nothing in attack. England were dominant but needed to be more incisive, and cut out the dangerous contact that could turn a match against better opponents.

I hope France can give England a better game next week. This one-way traffic is not good for the game.

I think the Irish juggernaut will continue to roll, seem to be unstoppable atm. I'm hoping England will be more competitive with a few new faces and time together, that said I'm not a fan of Borthwick rugby
