7 d. ago England overpower Italy in winning start to Women’s Six Nations campaign

England 38-5 ItalyFive first-half tries give Red Roses well-deserved victoryNo one expected it to be easy for Italy. No one expected it to be anything other than straightforward for England. The Red Roses achieved an overwhelming six-try victory in kicking off their attempt at a seventh successive title but, after four scores and one penalty try before the break, they then stuttered significantly and were forced to wait until two minutes from time for a second-half score.England’s hot streak now stretches to 21 consecutive matches, dating back to the Rugby World Cup final against New Zealand in 2022, but there was ultimately a lack of fluency here that may concern the head coach, John Mitchell.

8 d. ago Fran McGhie shines as Scotland hold on to edge out Wales in feisty thriller

Scotland 24-21 WalesSix tries and two red cards in Six Nations openerTwo red cards, six tries, a nip-and-tuck scoreboard and a traditional Scottish deluge falling from the sky. This had pretty much everything and Scotland were the team left standing with a win, but only just, in a pulsating encounter. These sides meet again in August, in Pool B of the Women’s Rugby World Cup, and judging by the skill, physicality and entertainment on show in Edinburgh, that appointment in Salford will be unmissable.Sarah Bonar, Emma Orr and Leah Bartlett scored tries for Scotland while Helen Nelson kicked a penalty and three conversions – every kick proving important in the final reckoning. Carys Phillips, Abbie Fleming and Gwenllian Pyrs were try-scorers for Wales, who started and finished strongly, but ultimately paid for missing 35 tackles. Credit, too, for the silky attacking skills and forward muscle of Scotland, for whom the wing Fran McGhie was a constant threat. Continue reading...

2 w. ago France win Six Nations title after Moefana’s double sinks Scotland

France 35-16 ScotlandBielle-Biarrey and Ramos also scored tries in victoryIn the end, no arguments. England may have done all they could to put France under some pressure – and Scotland went on to exert a bit more, testing France as few others can – but Les Bleus can play rugby any which way. They ran through the full gamut in the third quarter, blasting and slashing Scotland with equal facility to take the game away from the visitors and the championship from everyone else.They are worth it and then some. The Stade de France rang out euphorically, as its darlings returned home after three matches on the road. It was the first of those – in London – that cost France the grand slam they were surely good for. Carelessness blighted their every genius move against England that day, and we wondered if they had it in them, despite it all. But they have been unplayable since and claim a first title since 2022.
