Women's Six Nations: Schedule, standings and how to watch

The next round of the Women’s Six Nations is almost upon us and preparation is well underway for this week’s fixtures.

England is trying to cement further championship glory this year, following an impressive five-year winning streak.

Having won the Six Nations 18 times, secured 16 Grand Slams throughout the tournament’s history, and known for their impenetrable maul, the team is certainly the one to beat.

This year, England is being headed by coach John Mitchell and led by England captain Marlie Packer.

While England face competition from Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, and Italy, the team is already on track to clinch a sixth successive triumph.

After a promising start, England will go head-to-head this week against Scotland as Round 3 kicks into gear.

Commenting on the new partnership with Guinness, Tom Harrison, CEO of Six Nations Rugby, said: “Guinness and the Six Nations have become synonymous, and everyone involved in the partnership, including our unions, is truly excited to continue our work together for many more years. This is a defining moment for rugby, with huge potential on the horizon and a genuine opportunity to widen the audience for the sport, to help secure its future.

“The women's game is the biggest growth engine for rugby, and through this partnership, Guinness will help accelerate this.”
