Players are out and its time for the national anthems

Hello and welcome to coverage to the opening fixtures of the 2019 Women's Six Nations. I am Jonathan and I will be taking you through live updates and commentary of this match. Tonight we are at Donnybrook for Ireland vs England. England come into this match as favorites, having only lost two of their last 18 matches. Ireland will be hoping that home field advantage helps them get the crucial win over the team they have lost against in the last four games. It should be a tightly contested opening fixture
