Reed touches down as Red Roses down Ireland in Six Nations finale
Monday, March 19th 2018
Amber Reed came off the bench to score a second-half try, as England Women – featuring three Bristol Ladies players - ended their 2018 Six Nations campaign with a bonus-point 33-11 win over Claire Molloy’s Ireland at Ricoh Arena, Coventry to finish second in the competition.

Reed collected a pass from Katy Daley-Mclean to stroll in under the posts midway through the second period, while Lagi Tuima and Caity Mattinson – on her first Test start – impressed for Simon Middleton’s side. Molloy started at openside flanker for Ireland, putting in a typically industrious display.
“It was a battling performance; we had to fight for every ball as Ireland probably have one of the best back rows in the game," said head coach Simon Middleton.
“We had to problem solve as they presented different pictures than they looked at previously, so I’m really pleased with how we built our performance.
“The crowds are growing all the time. We had a great crowd at the Stoop, the atmosphere was amazing last week in France and it was a great crowd tonight.”
