Jack Willis made his England debut after impressing with Wasps in the Premiership last season
You see the line. You drive hard with your legs, twist, turn and you are across. A capacity crowd of 80,000 screams. The dream debut.
After a first cap that was delayed by two years for Jack Willis, that is how it should have been.
But of course, this is 2020 and you have to take the wins where you can.
It may have been a strange atmosphere at an empty Twickenham, but after coronavirus kept English rugby out of its home for eight months the players were simply glad of the opportunity to complete a ruthless six-try mauling of Georgia.
With southern hemisphere sides unable to travel north for November as they normally do, the Autumn Nations Cup was born to keep international rugby alive.
After the Six Nations delivered a lacklustre final super Saturday two weeks previously, there were hopes this one-off tournament in the strangest of years could provide some rugby exciting enough to distract fans from current world events.
But an unusual tone was set early on in England's first pool match.
The players experienced a silent walk from the bus to the dressing rooms instead of the usual South-West London welcome.
Queues for the bars and groups of grown adults jovially singing in fancy dress were replaced by Twickenham walkways that took on an eerie silence.
Instead of fans, bins lined the walkway in front of a Twickenham bar
As if to deliberately make things stranger, Georgia were the team wearing England's customary white while the hosts opted instead for blue.
After a minute's silence to mark Rugby Against Racism teams disbanded awkwardly and anticlimactically, feeling the absence of the home crowd to spur them on towards kick-off.
The rain that had been pouring all day paused briefly for the first half, but a grey sky loomed and the damage to any prospect of running rugby had already been done on the slippery Twickenham pitch.
Initially the Georgians breathed some life into the hollow stadium, creating an atmosphere all on their own.
Relishing a first-ever trip to the home of rugby, the visiting subs loudly willed on their side as they heroically kept England at bay.
But eventually Willis had his moment. Having impressed week after week with Wasps in the Premiership last season, England head coach Eddie Jones could no longer stubbornly ignore calls to give the 23-year-old a first cap.
Willis was due to tour South Africa with England in 2018, but missed out in the end because of a knee injury.
And the flanker insisted that, fans or no fans, scoring at Twickenham on his debut was something he had dreamed of since he "was a young lad".
Hooker Jamie George also deserved to hear the adoration of rugby-starved fans as he completed a hat-trick.
In a year in which many have learned to expect the unexpected and adapt accordingly George took his hat-trick - the first scored by an England men's hooker - in his stride.
The hosts may have been playing tier-two opponents, but three tries in one Test do not come along that often.
The 30-year-old played his feat down, though, giving most of the praise to his fellow forwards given all his scores came from mauls.
"It is quite an embarrassing situation," George told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"Fundamentally there are eight people, maybe 10 when the backs come in, pushing, and I just happen to be on the ball. There is not a huge amount of skill that goes into it."
Jones has spoken about the importance of giving the nation a boost with his side's rugby and he had frequently discussed tactical discipline in the lead-up to Saturday's game against Georgia.
Those two things do not always go hand in hand as George's lack of enthusiasm at his mauling hat-trick suggests.
There may have been few fireworks at Twickenham, but there were some sparks to excite England fans.
Jonathan Joseph, playing on the wing instead of at centre, had been told by Jones he had free rein on the London turf and he made the most of it.
Before an injury forced him off the field at the end of the first half, the Bath flier had twice danced through Georgian defences - the second occasion leading to a try for Elliot Daly.
And then there was Willis. His try on debut might have shone brighter had it not been overshadowed by a hooker's hat-trick, but his characteristic breakdown burglary also caught eyes.
The Wasps forward flaunted his impressive flexibility in the first 20 minutes when he bravely burrowed his way into the breakdown alone and retrieved the ball from Georgian hands.
Still, it may not have been the debut he had envisaged for himself, or the electric England performance fans hoped for against weaker opposition.
There were no supporters at Twickenham to welcome Willis into the England fold, but there was at least rugby. And that will have to be enough for now.


bbc--2020-11-15--Ruthless Taylor outclasses Gutierrez to retain world titles

Last updated on .From the section Boxing Katie Taylor served up a ruthless display to dominate against Miriam Gutierrez and defend her four world lightweight titles with a points win .
She floored Gutierrez at the end of round four with a sublime right-left combination and each time she thrust into an attack a stoppage looked close .
Gutierrez somehow survived but lost 100-89 100-90 99-91 on the cards .

`` I thought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Taylor , 34 , told BBC Radio 5 Live .

Taylor now has 17 wins from 17 contests
Katie Taylor served up a ruthless display to dominate against Miriam Gutierrez and defend her four world lightweight titles with a points win.
Taylor was ferocious from the bell against a previously unbeaten opponent who had no answer for her speed.
She floored Gutierrez at the end of round four with a sublime right-left combination and each time she thrust into an attack a stoppage looked close.
Gutierrez somehow survived but lost 100-89 100-90 99-91 on the cards.
Promoter Eddie Hearn dubbed Taylor "the greatest to ever do it in women's boxing" moments after a masterclass where she blitzed 37-year-old Gutierrez.

'Push boundaries' - Cyborg next?
Taylor made her ring walk to a tune adopted by the Chicago Bulls during their dominant spell between 1991 and 1998
Taylor emerged from her dressing room to the sound of 'Sirius' - the tune the Chicago Bulls made their own during their run of six NBA Championships between 1991 and 1998.
Ireland's fighting hero - a 2012 Olympic champion - looked untouchable at Wembley Arena. Every gap Spain's Gutierrez left in her defence was found in a show of creativity, speed and accuracy as the champion - a 1-28 betting favourite for the bout - lived up to her billing as the star who is taking women's boxing to new levels.
Rarely did she throw a single shot, instead opting for flurries to overwhelm an opponent who looked to be drowning in a sea of punches for the entire 20 minutes.
A rapid attack in the third - built from a left hook to body and head - looked like it could be decisive but was followed by a slick combination to floor her rival in the fourth, where an extra few seconds may have offered time for a stoppage.
By the midway stage the only questions remaining were how the contest would end and where this boxing trailblazer will turn next.
Names including Britons Natasha Jonas and Chantelle Cameron - a world champion a division higher - are being mentioned, as is an eye-catching contest against Mixed Martial Arts star Cris Cyborg.
"She does want to push the boundaries," added Hearn. "She won't duck one of them. I just think there is no fight she wouldn't take."
Taylor now boasts 17 wins from 17 bouts. Her obsession over her craft will undoubtedly see her wonder how she was unable to find just a seventh stoppage of her career.
But on a night where women's boxing was showcased in the top three slots on the fight card, she dazzled and those watching got to see the best in the business in full flow.
'Compelling not competitive' - analysis
Taylor dominated Gutierrez from start to finish at Wembley Arena
BBC Sport boxing correspondent Mike Costello: It feels like a pivotal moment in women's boxing, with Katie Taylor at the forefront. There is a sense of momentum around the sport, but there is a lack of depth.
We need more women and girls to take up the sport.
BBC Radio Live boxing analyst Steve Bunce: She did not lose a second of that fight. She tried to make sure it didn't last any longer than it needed to. I've never seen as wide a smile as when Gutierrez heard the bell.
It was not competitive but it was compelling.

Argentina failed to get out of the Pool stages at last year's Rugby World Cup
Argentina coach Mario Ledesma said his players came "through hell" to claim a first victory over three-time world champions New Zealand.
The Pumas beat the All Blacks 25-15 in Sydney on Saturday after failing to do so in 33 previous attempts since 1976.
"Unreal, unreal, surreal," said an emotional Ledesma after the Rugby Championship win.
"We have been through hell and the boys just kept ticking. Just so proud of them."
The match is Argentina's first since last year's Rugby World Cup, more than 13 months ago, with their previous fixtures cancelled by the coronavirus pandemic.
Before the match the team released a video showing how players had trained at home, been isolated from their families and quarantined from their team-mates during the months before the match.
"Just staying positive with everything that is going on, which in itself is already a lot," added Ledesma.
"And then coming out here and playing the game that they played, it is just incredible."
Argentina captain Pablo Matera, who played for Leicester for a season in 2013, was instrumental in victory.
The 27-year-old believes that the addition of former Australia and Leinster coach Michael Cheika in the team's backroom staff helped inspire the Pumas.
"He just came to us first day and said, 'What are you waiting for? You've got everything, you've got big players, young players, you've got a lot of energy, just go and take it'," Matera recalled.
"I think that made us believe a lot more in ourselves."
Cheika was hired as an "external advisor" in September with the Rugby Championship in mind.
The closest Argentina had come to defeating the All Blacks before was a 21-21 draw in 1985, although they lost by only four points in their last encounter in July 2019.
New Zealand, who lost 24-22 to Australia last week in Brisbane, have been beaten in two consecutive Test matches for the first time since August 2011.
The defeat drops New Zealand to third in the world rankings, behind South Africa and England, the lowest they have been since 2003.
"We prepared well, but were met by a team that had too much passion for us and we have got to sort that out," said New Zealand coach Ian Foster.
"There's no excuses."
Foster has won only two of his five games in charge since taking over from Steve Hansen at the end of the Rugby World Cup.
"This role always comes with pressure and what I feel now is massive disappointment that I haven't achieved what I wanted to achieve in the last two games," Foster said.
"We have a lot of good people in this group and we have shown we can perform at a high level and we need to go back and show we can do it again."

bbc--2020-11-15--Lewis Hamilton wins seventh Formula 1 title - equalling Michael Schumacher

Last updated on .From the section Formula 1 Lewis Hamilton clinched a seventh World Championship and became the most successful racing driver ever with a masterful victory in the Turkish Grand Prix on Sunday .
Victory at a treacherously wet and slippery Istanbul Park track in a topsy-turvy race was the 94th of the 35-year-old Briton 's career .
As he received the congratulations of his team , Hamilton was almost overcome with emotion in the car after the race , saying : `` To all the kids out there , dream the impossible . ''
How Hamilton won it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the monumental nature of Hamilton 's achievement .
Hamilton trod carefully in the opening stages of the race and even made a couple of small mistakes as the drivers fought for grip in the wet conditions .
But the race opened up for him at around half-distance as he once again made decisive strategy calls on tyres from the cockpit and drove with the skill and class that has enabled him to put himself in this position .
The Racing Points of Lance Stroll and Sergio Perez dominated the opening stages , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of three cars , with Sebastian Vettel at its back , as the track slowly dried .
Red Bull 's Alex Albon was running third , ahead of Vettel 's Ferrari and Hamilton .
Ferrari pitted Vettel for fresh tyres on lap 33 , having seen how quickly team-mate Charles Leclerc was going on his fresh intermediates , and then Albon spun at Turn Four .
That gave Hamilton a clean run to attack the Racing Points and he told his team : `` Do n't box [ pit ] me , man @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not want to change tyres , Racing Point did pit the Canadian on lap 36 , removing him from the lead and , shortly afterwards , Hamilton took the lead from Perez and never looked back .
Hamilton and Perez stayed out on worn tyres , as the Mercedes driver pulled away in the lead , his only concern being whether his worn intermediate tyres would last .
And it was put into stark perspective by his team-mate Valtteri Bottas .
The Finn went into the race knowing he had to out-score Hamilton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the championship alive .
But he had a dreadful day , spinning at least five times and finishing 14th , lapped by Hamilton .
When told there were four laps left late in the race , a downcast Bottas said : `` I wish it was less . ''
It was a heartbreaking day for Stroll , who led for the first 36 laps only to see his race unravel after he made his stop for fresh tyres .
But while the Canadian could not make the new tyres work on his car @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end , a second pit stop mid-race worked well for both Ferrari drivers .
Perez hung on to second .
He was passed by Leclerc on the final lap , only for the Monegasque to slide wide at the final chicane , allowing team-mate Vettel through into the final podium position , his first of the season .
Red Bull 's Max Verstappen pushed Perez hard early on , but a spin at the kink on the back straight ended his hopes .
Who else ?
Hamilton was in a class of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the race and pouncing when it mattered - before taking control .
Driver of his generation .
What happens next ?
Hamilton has clinched the title with three races still to go , two in Bahrain starting in two weeks ' time and then a finale in Abu Dhabi in mid-December .

'Recognise me now?' Lewis Hamilton's career illustrated
Lewis Hamilton clinched a seventh World Championship and became the most successful racing driver ever with a masterful victory in the Turkish Grand Prix on Sunday.
The Mercedes driver equalled Michael Schumacher's achievement in terms of titles, after already surpassing the German's number of race wins last month.
Victory at a treacherously wet and slippery Istanbul Park track in a topsy-turvy race was the 94th of the 35-year-old Briton's career.
As he received the congratulations of his team, Hamilton was almost overcome with emotion in the car after the race, saying: "To all the kids out there, dream the impossible."
Once out of the car, he added: "Seven is just unimaginable but when you work with such a great group of people and you really trust each other, there is just no end to what you can do together.
"I feel like I'm only just getting started, it's really weird."
Hamilton, who does not yet have a contract for next year, added he would "love to stay" in F1 and wanted to continue to campaign for change when it comes to human rights, diversity and environmentalism.
The Englishman won his first world title with McLaren in 2008 with further successes in 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

How Hamilton won it in style
It was a drive befitting the monumental nature of Hamilton's achievement.
He trod carefully in the opening stages of the race and even made a couple of small mistakes as the drivers fought for grip in the wet conditions.
By five laps in he was in sixth place, well over 20 seconds off the lead held by Racing Point's Lance Stroll, ahead of team-mate Sergio Perez.
After all the leaders made an early stop for fresh intermediate tyres, Hamilton was stuck behind Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, faster but unable to pass because of the lack of grip off line.
But the race opened up for Hamilton at around half-distance as he once again made decisive strategy calls on tyres from the cockpit and drove with the skill and class that has enabled him to put himself in this position.
Stroll and Perez began to be caught by those behind.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen was the first to pressure them, but fell out of contention when he lost control and spun behind Perez on lap 18, destroying his tyres and needing to stop again.
"I know I often say it is beyond my wildest dreams, but my whole life secretly I have dreamt as high as this," Hamilton said after his title win
Then, Red Bull's Alex Albon was running third, ahead of Vettel's Ferrari and Hamilton.
Ferrari pitted Vettel for fresh tyres on lap 33, having seen how quickly team-mate Charles Leclerc was going on his fresh intermediates, and then Albon spun at Turn Four.
That gave Hamilton a clean run to attack the Racing Points and he told his team: "Don't box [pit] me, man."
Despite Stroll saying he did not want to change tyres, Racing Point did pit the Canadian on lap 36, removing him from the lead and, shortly afterwards, Hamilton took the lead from Perez and never looked back.
Hamilton and Perez stayed out on worn tyres, as the Mercedes driver pulled away in the lead, his only concern being whether his worn intermediate tyres would last.
And Hamilton's excellence was put into stark perspective by his team-mate Valtteri Bottas.
The Finn went into the race knowing he had to out-score Hamilton by at least eight points to keep the championship alive. But he had a dreadful day, spinning at least five times and finishing 14th, lapped by Hamilton.
When told there were four laps left late in the race, a downcast Bottas said: "I wish it was less."
What happened to Stroll?
It was a heartbreaking day for Stroll, who confidently led for the first 36 laps after the first pole position of his career, only to see his race unravel after he made his stop for fresh tyres.
But while the Canadian could not make the new tyres work on his car, and slumped to ninth at the end, a second pit stop mid-race worked well for both Ferrari drivers.
Perez hung on to second, after briefly losing the place to Leclerc on the final lap, only for the Monegasque to slide wide at the final chicane, allowing team-mate Vettel through into the final podium position, his first of the season.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen pushed Perez hard early on, but a spin at the kink on the back straight ended his hopes.
Driver of the day
Who else? Hamilton was in a class of his own, cautious when necessary, reading the race and pouncing when it mattered - before taking control. Driver of his generation
What happens next?
Hamilton has clinched the title with three races still to go, two in Bahrain starting in two weeks' time and then a finale in Abu Dhabi in mid-December.
What they said
Hamilton: "It felt so far fetched. I remember watching Michael win those world championships. To get one or two or even three is so hard. Seven is unimaginable. There is no end to what we can do together, me and this team. We dreamed of this when I was young. It is so important for kids to see this and don't listen to anyone who says you can't achieve something. Dream the impossible. You have got to chase it and never give up."
Perez: "I told my team on the radio: 'One more lap on those tyres, I think they will have exploded.' The vibrations were really bad towards the end. But I think it also made our race. Looking after them towards the beginning and towards the end, with drying conditions, I think the team did a fantastic job with the strategy in the race."
Vettel: "It was quite intense but good fun. I had a really good opening lap, I found myself already in P4. It is a bit of a surprise to snatch the podium but I am certainly very happy."

The 31-year-old birdied the par-three 16th to move back to eight under and leave himself eight off the lead heading into Sunday's final round.
"I set a target to try and get to double digits under par, didn't quite get there, but I played a really good round of golf," said McIlroy.

We are all now totally clear as to how England are going to play.
During their comfortable 40-0 win against Georgia on Saturday it was very apparent what style head coach Eddie Jones wants, regardless of the opposition.
England were facing a tier two side, but the team were still determined to dominate up front and go through their patterns as if they were playing South Africa.
My concern is, what happens when that is not effective? England have come unstuck on a few occasions.
It is not so much an issue when you are playing against Georgia. You can stutter and hesitate and get away with it.
Ireland next weekend will be a very different proposition. But I would still like to think that England can play like that throughout the Autumn Nations Cup and be alright.
My concern going forward is if you have a repeat of the 2019 World Cup final. There are few sides in the world who will get dominance over England up front, but South Africa did and they won.
England's dominance up front helped hooker Jamie George score a hat-trick

'Farrell was off the pace'
England captain Owen Farrell was playing at fly-half in the absence of George Ford
England's forwards dominated Georgia, but the backline lacked a clinical edge.
Captain Owen Farrell was by no means at his best playing at fly-half. He just looked a couple of percent off the pace mentally and that was reflected in the backline.
England's usual starting 10 George Ford has missed the past two games with injury, so Farrell has moved from inside centre.
There is such a difference between them. Ford has incredible vision of delivery, putting people through gaps.

When you move Farrell to fly-half, you are actually playing a very different style of organisation.

It might be better to bring in another 10 and have Farrell back at 12.

Last updated on .From the section European Football
Sergio Ramos had scored all 25 penalties he had taken since May 2018
Sergio Ramos had two penalties saved on the night he became the most capped male European player as Spain drew with Switzerland in the Nations League.
Ramos was winning his 177th cap, taking him past Gianluigi Buffon's record - but it was a game to forget.
The 34-year-old had his first penalty saved by Yann Sommer as he tried to place it in the corner.
His second was an attempted chip which barely left the ground as Sommer held on to it.
He had scored his previous 25 attempts for Spain and Real Madrid.
"Sergio's numbers for penalties are out of this world," said Spain boss Luis Enrique.
"If there had been a third penalty, he would have taken that one as well."
Borussia Monchengladbach keeper Sommer told Swiss broadcaster SRF: "I've come up against Ramos in the Champions League recently, so that means I've been previously engaged in preparing for his penalties.
"I think he wanted to chip the second one, but it worked out well for me."
Both of those spot-kicks were with Spain 1-0 down following Remo Freuler's clever finish from Breel Embolo's cross.
The hosts ended with 10 men after Nico Elvedi was shown a second yellow card for fouling Alvaro Morata for Spain's second penalty.
Spain eventually equalised through Gerard Moreno's 89th-minute finish from Sergio Reguilon's cross.
Spain must now beat Germany in Seville on Tuesday to reach next year's Nations League finals.
Switzerland - who have not won a game in almost a year - would have been relegated to League B had they lost.

Hiker alive and well after 'dying' for 45 minutes Published 16 November 2020
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Michael Knapinski got lost in the Mount Rainier national park, Washington state
A hiker who was rescued after getting lost overnight in a US national park has been brought back to life despite his heart stopping for 45 minutes.
Michael Knapinski, aged 45, got lost in Mount Rainier national park in freezing conditions last weekend.
He was found and airlifted to a hospital in Seattle, Washington state. He had a pulse when he arrived at hospital but then his heart stopped.
"He died while he was in the ER," Dr Jenelle Badulak told The Seattle Times.
The medical team performed CPR on Mr Knapinski and hooked him up to a extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine. This pumped blood from his body into a heart-lung machine that removed carbon dioxide, and then back inside him.
After about 45 minutes, his heart started again. Two days later, he woke up.
"He was crying and they were crying, and I'm fairly sure I cried a little bit," said trauma nurse Whitney Holen.
"It was just really special to see someone that we had worked so hard on from start to finish to then wake up that dramatically and that impressively."
Mr Knapinski, who is still recovering, told CBS that he had started hiking after overcoming a serious drug addiction.
"I used to be a very unhealthy, sickly man and I got into hiking and it changed my lifestyle," he said, adding that the medical staff had refused to accept he was gone.
"They did one heck of a job at keeping me alive," he said.
What happens to the body in the cold?
Philippa Roxby, BBC News health reporter
Extreme cold can kill, but it can also have a protective effect on the body in certain, rare circumstances.
If the heart stops at normal body temperatures for too long, there is little hope of survival due to brain damage.
But in freezing temperatures, the brain and body can be protected by the cold because it stops them deteriorating.
There have been other examples of adults and children surviving after spending long periods in very cold temperatures.
Last winter, for example, a woman was "brought back to life" by doctors after her heart stopped for six hours when hiking in the cold of the Pyrenees.
This is very rare though - normally even in the cold, brain damage would have set in after about an hour.
Doctors also use the same principle to cool the bodies of newborn babies to try to reduce the risk of brain damage after a difficult birth.

bbc--2020-11-16--New Covid vaccine shows nearly 95% protection

A new vaccine that protects against Covid-19 is nearly 95 % effective , early data from US company Moderna shows .
The results come hot on the heels of similar results from Pfizer , and add to growing confidence that vaccines can help end the pandemic .
Moderna says it is a `` great day '' and they plan to apply for approval to use the vaccine in the next few weeks .
How good is it ?
The trial involved 30,000 people in the US with half being given two doses of the vaccine , four weeks apart .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ analysis was based on the first 95 to develop Covid-19 symptoms .
Only five of the Covid cases were in people given the vaccine , 90 were in those given the dummy treatment .
The company says the vaccine is protecting 94.5 % of people .
The data also shows there were 11 cases of severe Covid in the trial , but none happened in people who were immunised .
`` The overall effectiveness has been remarkable ... it 's a great day , '' Tal Zaks , the chief medical officer at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Stephen Hoge , the company 's president , said he `` grinned ear to ear for a minute '' when the results came in .
He told BBC News : `` I do n't think any of us really hoped that the vaccine would be 94 % effective at preventing Covid-19 disease , that was really a stunning realisation . ''
When will I get it ?
That depends on where you are in the world and how old you are .
Moderna says it will apply to regulators in the US in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have 20 million doses available in the country .
The company hopes to have up to one billion doses available for use around the world next year and is planning to seek approval in other countries too .
The UK has today announced that , from spring , it will have five million doses of the Moderna vaccine , enough to vaccinate 2.5 million people .
It has already outlined plans that prioritise the oldest people for immunisation .
What do n't we know ?
We still do not know how long immunity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be followed for much longer before that can be answered .
There are hints it offers some protection in older age groups , who are most at risk of dying from Covid , but there is not full data .
Mr Zaks told the BBC their data so far suggests the vaccine `` does not appear to lose its potency '' with age .
And it is not known whether the vaccine just stops people becoming severely ill , or if it stops them spreading the virus too .
All these questions will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Are there any side effects ?
No significant safety concerns have been reported , but nothing , including paracetamol , is 100 % safe .
Short lived fatigue , headache and pain were reported after the injection in some patients .
`` These effects are what we would expect with a vaccine that is working and inducing a good immune response , '' said Prof Peter Openshaw , from Imperial College London .
How does this compare to the Pfizer vaccine ?
Both vaccines use the same approach of injecting part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to provoke an immune response .
The preliminary data we have seen so far is very similar - around 90 % protection for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and around 95 % for Moderna 's .
However , both trials are still taking place and the final numbers could change .
Moderna 's vaccine appears to be easier to store as it remains stable at minus 20C for up to six months and can be kept in a standard fridge for up to a month .
Pfizer 's vaccine needs ultra-cold storage at around minus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the fridge for five days .
The Sputnik V vaccine , developed in Russia , has also released very early data which suggests it is 92 % effective .
How does it work ?
Moderna has developed an `` RNA vaccine '' - it means part of the coronavirus 's genetic code is injected into the body .
This starts making viral proteins , but not the whole virus , which is enough to train the immune system to attack .
It should train the body to make both antibodies - and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ T-cells to fight the coronavirus .
When will Covid be over ?
In the space of a week , the positive results from Pfizer , Moderna and Russia have transformed our chances of ending the pandemic .
Before the first results , the talk was of a vaccine that offered maybe 50 % protection .
Those expectations have been blown out of the water - not only are vaccines possible , they appear to be potent .
The data so far also raise hopes that the other vaccines in development will be successful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ draws to an ends , another begins .
What reaction has there been ?
`` This news from Moderna is tremendously exciting and considerably boosts optimism that we will have a choice of good vaccines in the next few months , '' said Prof Peter Openshaw from Imperial College London .
He added : `` We need more complete details than we have in this press release , but this announcement adds to the general feeling of optimism . ''
Prof Trudie Lang , from the University of Oxford , said : `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see another vaccine coming through with similar efficacy results as were reported last week from Pfizer .
`` This is also an interim analysis , which means that there were enough cases within the vaccinated volunteers to give statistical significance and allow the team to break the blind to determine who had the active vaccine and who had placebo . ''
Dr Richard Hatchett , the head of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations , said : `` The Moderna results are as good as we could have hoped for and really terrifically @ @ @

"This is also an interim analysis, which means that there were enough cases within the vaccinated volunteers to give statistical significance and allow the team to break the blind to determine who had the active vaccine and who had placebo."
