The faced Scotland on the opening matchday last weekend, and decimated their opponents in 57-5 victory which will have made their quality clear to their rivals in the competition. The reigning champions are looking a record-extending 18th victory in the Women’s Six Nations, having won three of the last four tournaments.

The Italians, on the other hand, got their campaign off to a poor start with a tough match against France which ended in a 39-6 defeat, in an encounter which was controlled by the French without them ever having to overly exter themselves. Italy have taken part in 15 editions of the competition, with a highest finishing place of second at the 2019 event.
