There was an exclusive moment when the Ireland and England players walked in line to shake hands following the Red Roses’ 33-12 win in the Women’s Six Nations at Twickenham on Saturday.

With the game over, normal service resumed for Clíodhna and Claudia Moloney-MacDonald as they took a beat to give each other a heartfelt hug to mark the day they finally played against each other.
