2026 MATCH PREVIEW

The Red Roses return to the Home of England Rugby in the Women’s Six Nations after their memorable match against France last year which ended 43-42 in favour of the hosts. A victory which secured a fourth consecutive Grand Slam for England and a seventh title win in succession. England then confirmed their dominance as the best team in the world when they beat Canada 33-13 in the Women’s Rugby World Cup final in Twickenham last September. Now the Red Roses have their sights set on ‘five in a row’ in the Women’s Six Nations. Starting with a 2026 Round 1 win against Ireland on Saturday 11 April.
England and Ireland last met in the capital in 2024. On that occasion the Red Rose overpowered their Irish counterparts with a devastating display of attacking rugby. England ran in a string of tries to come away with an 88-10 victory at Twickenham. Abby Dow was the Red Roses hat-trick hero.
