Ireland cannot contain England in heavy Six Nations defeat at Twickenham… coach Scott Bemand’s reaction

DOMINANT England scored 14 tries on their way to a Six Nations rout of Ireland at Twickenham.

Afterwards, Ireland coach Scott Bemand gave this response.

“The Irish girls are quite a young group. Coming into an occasion like this the girls have to handle the occasion. I think we looked quite young.

“After half time the girls showed something after a reasonably bruising first half.

“Ireland haven’t scored a point against England for three years I think [not since 2019, in fact] … so it’s a small win.

“We’ll take our learnings from this.

“The great thing about sport is you get to go again.

“We’ve got some really good players coming through. It’s learning to put it out there on these occasions

“We’ve got to keep being positive. England played really well, fair credit to them – we’ll keep going after stuff, we want to fire some shots in these big games, and we’ll keep going after it.”

Ireland complete their campaign against Scotland at Kingspan in Belfast next Saturday, April 27.
