LineFromTo

The Six Nations is back, and we've come to a windy Dublin to see an

:00:44.:00:49.

unbeaten Irish team take on the holders, France. The two sides have

:00:50.:00:54.

shared the title over the last four years, but this time round, England

:00:55.:00:58.

have also looked strong, so expect a 3-way tussle at the top. Ewan-macro

:00:59.:01:07.

Scotland and Ireland ( in the Six Nations Championship. They've got

:01:08.:01:13.

some power behind them when they do get to it. It looks like England who

:01:14.:01:18.

will be victorious against the French. Oh, so easy for England and

:01:19.:01:27.

Wales don't know what's hit them. The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing

:01:28.:01:32.

and its one-way traffic. Ireland do the business and get the bonus

:01:33.:01:37.

point. Some outstanding rugby in the first two rounds and it Ireland who

:01:38.:01:41.

lead the way, but controversially they'll be without Hannah Tyrol, who

:01:42.:01:45.

scored that last-gasp try. She and two of the experienced members of

:01:46.:01:48.

the backline are out in Vegas for the world sevens series. Coming

:01:49.:01:54.

up... We'll see if Scotland can get that elusive Six Nations win, as

:01:55.:01:59.

they take on the Welsh. Ireland go in search of three in a row, but

:02:00.:02:03.

France are desperate to get their title defence back on track. England

:02:04.:02:10.

are on a roll, a frightening thought for Italy, who visited the Stoop.

:02:11.:02:14.

Six months today, and the winners of the women's World Cup will be

:02:15.:02:17.

crowned up the Road in Belfast and Ireland will certainly be hoping to

:02:18.:02:22.

be there. Today, it's all about the Six Nations for these expectant

:02:23.:02:26.

fans, but we start with Scotland. They came so close to win in their

:02:27.:02:30.

last home game and they returned to Broadwood, to take on a Wales side

:02:31.:02:35.

looking to bounce back from that defeat at the hands of England.

:02:36.:02:43.

COMMENTATOR: The 20th minute. Can Wales score off

:02:44.:02:49.

their first attack? Scotland struggling to defend. Wales are at

:02:50.:02:56.

their line and it's a try for their skipper, Carys Phillips, her second

:02:57.:03:01.

try of this year's Six Nations. Wales score off their first attack,

:03:02.:03:06.

as we reached the quarter mark of the game. Yes, so much better from

:03:07.:03:11.

Wales, playing in the right areas of the patch. Well done for going for

:03:12.:03:16.

the line-out, secure hands in the line-out and a great driving maul

:03:17.:03:20.

and a great score for the captain, Carys Phillips. Parker, Elinor

:03:21.:03:29.

Snowsill. Well taken by Chloe Rollie. Looking for space around the

:03:30.:03:34.

outside and getting it. A lovely run from Chloe Rollie. Solid with the

:03:35.:03:41.

tackle. The best run of the game so far from the Scots and the forward

:03:42.:03:45.

drive to follow it up. Wales a bit disorganised behind. Scotland need

:03:46.:03:52.

quick ball here. Wales trying to drive around the fringes. They are

:03:53.:03:55.

allowed to get away with it. Scotland forced to go back to the

:03:56.:04:02.

pick and go, but really, they might have been looking for quicker ball

:04:03.:04:05.

there and in the end they paid a price. Chloe Rollie showing how

:04:06.:04:11.

dangerous she is. She's got lining for work. She managed to sidestep a

:04:12.:04:16.

few Welsh players there and are very good tackle to stop her on her way

:04:17.:04:21.

-- she's got lightning at work. Six minutes to half time, as Wales look

:04:22.:04:27.

for their second score. In it goes. It's going a little bit sideways,

:04:28.:04:36.

difficult control for Sioned Harries. The referee goes straight

:04:37.:04:40.

underneath the post for a penalty try. A second try for Wales.

:04:41.:04:47.

Scotland defending illegally. Sioned Harries comptroller the wall -- ball

:04:48.:04:53.

well at the back of the scrum, but impingement from Scotland and they

:04:54.:04:58.

paid a price. Penalty try for Wales. Try here would really bring Scotland

:04:59.:05:05.

back into it. Maybe Webb reduced the deficit to a single score if it's

:05:06.:05:10.

converted and give the Scots something to work on in their

:05:11.:05:18.

half-time team talk. Yes, defending well here at the moment. Lisa

:05:19.:05:23.

Thomson with the charge, a lovely angle from Lisa Thomson. And the

:05:24.:05:30.

Edinburgh University Centre is over for Scotland's first try of the

:05:31.:05:34.

night, just when her country needed it. That's an excellent comeback

:05:35.:05:39.

from Scotland. They've been so patient. Crashing through the

:05:40.:05:45.

defensive line, a trifle Lisa Thomson. She is so strong. Scrum V

:05:46.:05:56.

Albay hour, a lovely off-load and a trifle Rhona Lloyd in the corner. --

:05:57.:06:02.

way try. It brings Scotland right back into it, just a couple of

:06:03.:06:07.

points between the two sides. Very well worked by Scotland. It was Jade

:06:08.:06:14.

Konkel, a lovely off-load with the backhand and a great score in the

:06:15.:06:16.

corner. Slow ball. It's another penalty and a chance

:06:17.:06:33.

for Scotland. Will they go for gold? Will they go for the corner? Could

:06:34.:06:40.

it be a kick to win it? Scotland go for the posts. Yes, and why not?

:06:41.:06:47.

Sarah Law, with the most important kick of her international career.

:06:48.:06:52.

Three minutes left full stop this could be a winning shot. It's found

:06:53.:07:00.

the target and Scotland have their noses in front. Scotland have a

:07:01.:07:09.

famous victory in their sights. Scotland, really good value for

:07:10.:07:14.

their victory over the last 45 minutes of this game, coming back

:07:15.:07:21.

from 14-0 down. Absolutely, they came out after that first half just

:07:22.:07:26.

so energised. They've come here to do the job. There we go, last kick,

:07:27.:07:34.

into touch, and a victory at home for Scotland. So Scotland, getting

:07:35.:07:38.

their noses in front, three minutes from time, and holding on for the

:07:39.:07:44.

victory. Just look at what it means to the whole Scottish side. The

:07:45.:07:49.

whole Scottish squad and their supporters here in Cumbernauld.

:07:50.:07:57.

Scotland 15, Wales 14. It means the world to every single one others.

:07:58.:08:01.

We've worked so hard for it. Sweat and tears. Our team has bonded,

:08:02.:08:07.

we've gelled, we've got to where we want to be and it goes on from here.

:08:08.:08:14.

What a result, seven years Scotland have been waiting for a Six Nations

:08:15.:08:18.

win. They've got one. It came off is a battering against France. It

:08:19.:08:22.

showed great character to come back from 14-0 down. They were superb, in

:08:23.:08:28.

possession throughout, in control of the game, went down 14-0 and clawed

:08:29.:08:34.

it back. A super performance, huge for them. They are scoring tries in

:08:35.:08:38.

a lot of games and that win is going to give them huge encouragement and

:08:39.:08:41.

motivation going forward. I heard them were great scenes in the

:08:42.:08:45.

dressing room after the game. Chloe Rollie, full-back, was a real

:08:46.:08:49.

danger. She's an exciting young talent. Any time she got the ball

:08:50.:08:56.

she looked like a thread. It's a worry for Wales, because they'll

:08:57.:09:00.

have her running back and she has a huge future. She's a young player

:09:01.:09:02.

and will develop with the rest of the squad as well. It came down to

:09:03.:09:05.

kicking in the first game against Ireland. It was agonising for Sarah

:09:06.:09:10.

Law but incredible strength of character could get that kick at the

:09:11.:09:13.

end and it will give her confidence. I'm sure they were disappointed in

:09:14.:09:18.

the first game against Ireland which they perhaps should have won want to

:09:19.:09:25.

be hammered 55 hero -- 55-0 against France. It's a pressure kick. To

:09:26.:09:28.

stand up and perform under that pressure is immense and that's

:09:29.:09:33.

character building and it will help them going forward. Great scenes for

:09:34.:09:38.

Scotland but for Wales, how damaging is that? They have a poor result

:09:39.:09:42.

against England and then to lose the match against Scotland. They were

:09:43.:09:47.

highly motivated coming into the competition. They had a friendly

:09:48.:09:50.

against Ireland which went well. It's being hammered by an impressive

:09:51.:09:54.

English team, they will have to regroup and focus on Ireland and see

:09:55.:09:58.

what result they can get in two weeks' time. It was a great night

:09:59.:10:02.

for Scotland. Let's go to the match at Donnybrook. Tom Tierney's side

:10:03.:10:06.

had impressed on the road, but they wanted to impress in front of our

:10:07.:10:15.

home fans here. It wouldn't be easy, facing a French side that ran in

:10:16.:10:18.

nine tries last time out. Fiona was alongside Royal Nugent in the

:10:19.:10:19.

commentary box. COMMENTATOR:

:10:20.:10:29.

Here's the Irish team. I really experienced and combat its second

:10:30.:10:35.

row. Molloy will play at openside. Helium Stapleton in the half-backs.

:10:36.:10:40.

You look at Jenny Murphy, who is going to have to leave the line in

:10:41.:10:45.

what is a relatively inexperienced back five for Ireland -- will lead

:10:46.:10:50.

the line. The French side are led by their captain, Gail Mignon, who

:10:51.:10:54.

scored a try against England, also scored a try against Ireland in last

:10:55.:11:01.

year's game. Jade Le Pesq and Camille Cabalou are half-backs, the

:11:02.:11:04.

game revolves around the power of the front eight. Options...

:11:05.:11:13.

INAUDIBLE Good variation from Ireland. Where

:11:14.:11:23.

can they go from here? At the back, Ailis Egan.

:11:24.:11:28.

Well delivered so far, Sophie Spence desperately trying to get the ball.

:11:29.:11:36.

Debra Healy pops it out and Ireland, over the line. The referee says no.

:11:37.:11:44.

France doing so well defensively. That was really good variation by

:11:45.:11:50.

Ireland. Really good control of recycled ball. Leah Lyons was over

:11:51.:11:56.

the line, the French player beat her. Back to Stapleton it goes.

:11:57.:12:03.

There's where the wind is in Ireland's favour. It's blowing in

:12:04.:12:08.

that direction and overcooked by Stapleton. It got grabbed by the

:12:09.:12:18.

wind. What it was the last scrum, the Irish flanker was pulled back,

:12:19.:12:22.

by the French player, who was unable to make a tackle. I cannot tell you

:12:23.:12:26.

how difficult conditions are here. The wind is blasting through again.

:12:27.:12:30.

Even the most simple, straightforward passes and

:12:31.:12:34.

kick-start a difficulty. Stapleton finds her range and Ireland get a

:12:35.:12:42.

deserved lead, after 11 and a half minutes. 3-0. Spence leading by

:12:43.:12:45.

example. Storming around the side,

:12:46.:12:58.

McLauchlan, desperation tackle after evading Mairead Coyne. It's the

:12:59.:13:08.

second row who... France are scrambling wide. The perfect start

:13:09.:13:21.

for France. Caroline Ladagnous scores. France trying to send her

:13:22.:13:30.

towards the touchline. Sophie Spence pics and goes again. Fitzpatrick

:13:31.:13:39.

drives her legs, Ireland four meters away. Fans can't get the bodies out

:13:40.:13:42.

of the way despite their best efforts. You might be seeing another

:13:43.:13:54.

card, we are. It's Marjorie Mayans who makes way. Variation again. The

:13:55.:14:06.

maul is set. The tempo is good. INAUDIBLE

:14:07.:14:17.

That was down to execution. A whole heap of self belief. Really good

:14:18.:14:22.

variation with the line-out. Sophie Spence at the back, whether maul was

:14:23.:14:27.

set up and a really good form, tied together, and Lyons goes over to

:14:28.:14:29.

score. Stapleton's kick was on target. Up

:14:30.:14:44.

go the flags. Penalty advantage to Ireland. They have a free role.

:14:45.:14:50.

Fitzpatrick. Ireland will take full advantage. Advantage still near

:14:51.:15:00.

Ireland. They are three metres away. Muldoon digs it out. Stapleton

:15:01.:15:06.

almost through. The ball is off-loaded. It has gone to a French

:15:07.:15:10.

hand but we will come back again for the penalty. On its way, up go the

:15:11.:15:26.

flags. It is 13-7 to Ireland. N'Diaye is called to go to the more

:15:27.:15:35.

openside. There is a penalty therefore France and an opportunity

:15:36.:15:43.

may be to have a kick at goal. This one should be

:15:44.:16:07.

straightforward for Jessy Tremouliere. The last throw of the

:16:08.:16:13.

dies. The best two Irish players on the ground and France somehow

:16:14.:16:17.

managed to throw it behind them. Muldoon is over there and so is the

:16:18.:16:23.

captain, Fitzpatrick, it has been turned over. Look at those faces.

:16:24.:16:28.

They tell you everything you need to know, against the odds, Ireland have

:16:29.:16:33.

done it. They have beaten France at Donnybrook. Amazing win. We knew it

:16:34.:16:41.

would be the toughest games so far. It was, it was such a physical

:16:42.:16:47.

battle. We asked beforehand for controlled maniacs only got that.

:16:48.:16:52.

Their play to the girls. Amazing performance. Incredible scenes at

:16:53.:16:58.

the end, what a win. It was fantastic. I remember the last time,

:16:59.:17:03.

it was a tight game and they always drive us. It was a long time coming,

:17:04.:17:08.

we were not happy with our first games and it is the character of the

:17:09.:17:20.

girls to rise up and put the statement out that we are a force to

:17:21.:17:23.

be reckoned with. We were clinical in certain areas and we are

:17:24.:17:25.

delighted with the result. What impressed you most about the

:17:26.:17:28.

performance of the girls? They stuck to their strengths. It is a heavy

:17:29.:17:31.

hitting French pack and I think Ireland bustard and their line-out

:17:32.:17:37.

was outstanding. It allowed a good attacking platform. It is brilliant.

:17:38.:17:45.

You got the first two winced, to come here and get a win against

:17:46.:17:52.

France, how pivotal could that be? It is massive but we have to take it

:17:53.:17:57.

one game at a time and Wales will be sore after losing to Scotland and

:17:58.:18:01.

they will be raring to go in Cardiff and they have a home crowd and home

:18:02.:18:06.

advantage so we have to be on our game. There has been a lot of

:18:07.:18:11.

discussion about the three backs who were missing. The fact that Ireland

:18:12.:18:18.

were able to win despite that, what does that say about the depth of

:18:19.:18:24.

this setup? Obviously the girls stood up and it galvanise them. I

:18:25.:18:31.

don't think France took advantage of a weak back three in my eyes.

:18:32.:18:35.

Ireland did not allow them to do it either. I think there are still

:18:36.:18:40.

issues, but I think the girls answered today. They have huge

:18:41.:18:45.

hearts and huge commitment. At the end of the tournament, you finish

:18:46.:18:50.

with England here and that could be some battle. We are here to fight it

:18:51.:18:56.

out for the title. We want to win the Six Nations. That would be

:18:57.:19:01.

fantastic but it is one game at a time. Wales are tricky. It has been

:19:02.:19:08.

tight games in the past. We have to remember that they beat us in

:19:09.:19:12.

January. They are a dangerous side and particularly now they are a bit

:19:13.:19:16.

bruise, they will be tricky. We do not want to slip up. Thank you for

:19:17.:19:24.

joining us. Let's get to England. They faced Italy. Italy arrived in

:19:25.:19:34.

London are hoping to get their first points on the board. The first one

:19:35.:19:43.

dominated by France but England came back superbly. Completely dominant,

:19:44.:19:53.

running in 11 tries. An absolutely comprehensive and one-sided victory

:19:54.:19:54.

over Wales. Being when captured -- captain,

:19:55.:20:13.

Hunter. England wanted a quick start, but Italy have the start.

:20:14.:20:23.

Pantarotto. Stephan is therefore Italy and it is a dream start. --

:20:24.:20:36.

Furlan. Advantage coming to England. Italy are offside. They are looking

:20:37.:20:50.

to drop things level. Fleetwood. Scarratt does not need much, she

:20:51.:20:53.

gives it to Wilson and it is showtime for England. Wilson high,

:20:54.:21:05.

there is space out there and England may get two in two minutes. From the

:21:06.:21:12.

early inaccuracy, it is now that they are beginning to find the

:21:13.:21:16.

passes and score the tries. Mason, plenty of defenders there are four

:21:17.:21:26.

Fleetwood. A very physical tackle. We are going to have another look at

:21:27.:21:32.

that tackle. The swinging right arm, that we are looking at from

:21:33.:21:48.

55-macro. Apologies all around. -- Pillotti.

:21:49.:21:55.

They are driving, Fleetwood has it. They are over the line and Fleetwood

:21:56.:22:02.

has the five pointer. You could sense it was coming.

:22:03.:22:14.

First up, the catch from Millar-Mills. England driving

:22:15.:22:26.

forward. Good body positions. A flat line. It was initially. England

:22:27.:22:34.

going through a game. I think it is Fleetwood again. She is scoring

:22:35.:22:39.

again. Two for Vicky Fleetwood and a bonus point for England. Fleetwood,

:22:40.:22:49.

to the tail, nice throw. Very blustery day. Here she is again.

:22:50.:22:57.

Trampling over the bodies. Packer is screaming for it. A try for Vicky

:22:58.:23:05.

Fleetwood. Technically sound, technically superb. Driving maul of

:23:06.:23:06.

England. Shrugged off by Furlan. Who is

:23:07.:23:24.

there. Sarah Hunter, or is she? Who's going to fall on this one

:23:25.:23:29.

first? Italy have scored. From sheer persistence. Scarabs, floated that

:23:30.:23:39.

beautiful pass out. I can side from Wilson -- Scarratt. There is a pace

:23:40.:23:47.

from Fleetwood. Looking for try number four. She may have got it!

:23:48.:23:58.

She has! Jacking the lifting of a player. 22 white, high lifting. We

:23:59.:24:11.

are going red card. Surprise from Emily Scarratt. They have continued

:24:12.:24:24.

to fight in the second half. He wants to have another look at this

:24:25.:24:30.

tackle. Tiddlywinks, it is not, physical contact. Yes it was

:24:31.:24:35.

reactionary but you may contact with the players head. It is a yellow

:24:36.:24:37.

card. A yellow card? Italy still looking for more.

:24:38.:24:56.

Stefan, tracked down well by Furlan is therefore Italy and Italy have

:24:57.:25:04.

scored their third try. The ball is kicked out and England have done it.

:25:05.:25:09.

It is Mission accomplished in terms of the wind. That was amazing, to

:25:10.:25:17.

get 80 minutes. It was fantastic. I cannot thank the rest of my team

:25:18.:25:20.

enough for being able to put me over the white line. I have not done that

:25:21.:25:26.

for a long time. It was really exciting and it was all down to the

:25:27.:25:30.

forwards and sticking together and working on our processes and that is

:25:31.:25:34.

what we have been looking all week. Really happy. Good to round out the

:25:35.:25:38.

win, we were resilient to the end even though it did not always go our

:25:39.:25:44.

way. So it is England and Ireland who are locked together at the top,

:25:45.:25:48.

England just ahead on points difference. France with the losing

:25:49.:25:53.

bonus point are just clear off Wales and Italy are still looking for

:25:54.:25:59.

their first points. Round four see Scotland face England while Ireland

:26:00.:26:03.

are in Wales. England keeper only non-but it was not as an impressive

:26:04.:26:09.

performance as the previous couple of games -- England keep rolling on.

:26:10.:26:16.

The changes did unsettle the team, they are missing some key players

:26:17.:26:24.

like Waterman. They needed more time and preparation. Second half, Italy

:26:25.:26:31.

definitely won the second half. Furlan getting involved in the game.

:26:32.:26:36.

Some brilliant tries. That was the best performance from Italy against

:26:37.:26:42.

England. Katie Maclean was so pivotal against Wales and she had a

:26:43.:26:45.

different impact on things this time, what did you make of the red

:26:46.:26:48.

card? I thought it was harsh. I thought it was a yellow card. It was

:26:49.:26:58.

probably a red card. There will be interesting to see how long she is

:26:59.:27:03.

out. Against Wales, a lot of the tries came from the work of Katie

:27:04.:27:08.

Maclean, a lot of the backs got involved, but what a day for Vicky

:27:09.:27:15.

Fleetwood! Is a great day. From a hard-working pack. She is a powerful

:27:16.:27:20.

and dynamic player. The pack work hard for the molls and it does not

:27:21.:27:25.

matter who comes with them. Brilliant, history making hat-trick.

:27:26.:27:32.

Incredible stuff. You mentioned the performance of Italy, what hope will

:27:33.:27:36.

not give the likes of Scotland? Perhaps this England team can be
