Rugby Review: Tough Day for Ireland in Six Nations & Mixed Play-Off Fortunes in AIL

Buccaneers have advanced to the 2A final, but Tullamore's hopes have been dashed.

England proved too good for Ireland in the Six Nations yesterday, running out 69-0 winners in Leicester.

The World's number one side scored 59 second half points against the Irish side captained by Kilcormac's Nichola Fryday.

Portlaoise's Emma Hooban came off the bench in the closing stages.

Meanwhile, there were mixed fortunes for the two midlands AIL clubs in promotion play-off action at the weekend.

Buccaneers travelled to Cashel on Saturday, winning 25-17 to advance to the Division 2A final against Queen's University, Belfast.

In Division 2C, Tullamore's hopes of promotion came to an end with a 12-9 defeat away to Enniscorthy.
