In front of a record crowd for a women’s international in Wales, replacement scrum-half Ffion Lewis capitalised on a break from the outstanding Alisha Butchers to cross for the winning try less than five minutes from time.
Scotland had dominated the first half, but were again guilty of failing to convert their territory and possession into points, leading only 14-7 at the interval.
Rhona Lloyd’s second score soon after the restart had appeared to set the visitors up for a second half surge, but the Welsh bench again made a telling impact.
Tries from Sioned Harries and Kelsey Jones levelled proceedings, before Butchers’ burst teed up Lewis to secure a second successive bonus point victory and a first home Six Nations win since 2019.
France vs Ireland kicks off Women’s Six Nations Round Two
It’s been a week of all-sorts weather wise, and the reports from Toulouse is that it is just a touch blustery, and slightly nippy. They know how to do it in the Pink City, though, and over 11,000 (largely) French fans are beginning to file in.
Women’s Six Nations Round Two
Welcome back! A new dawn for the Women’s Six Nations began in glorious sunshine on an unseasonably warm late March weekend seven days ago, with three competitive fixtures reflecting six competitive sides. Wales kicked off their own new era with a stirring fightback to beat Ireland, France stuttered and stumbled but eventually found stable footing to survive a creative Italy, while England showed that they remain the team to beat with a comfortable victory over Scotland - though the final scoreline reflected a rather more uneven contest than the one that played out in Edinburgh.
A week later, we are back to do it all over again, with two games this afternoon before proceedings in Parma conclude the Six Nations weekend tomorrow. To begin, Ireland are in Toulouse, for a mighty tough trip to the Stade Ernest-Walllon and a meeting with a much-changed French side who will be looking for a more complete performance. The action all gets underway in little more than an hour...
France vs Ireland
Ireland are taking on France in the second round of Women’s Six Nations matches as they aim to bounce back from a disappointing defeat against Wales last time out. The Irish led at half-time but led their control slip away in the latter stages of the game. France meanwhile began their tournament with a hammering of Italy and have made a positive start in their bid to win the Six Nations crown for the seventh time.
