It is England's first outing since the end of an eventful Six Nations in March, when they ended up finishing second after destroying sorry Wales 68-14 with a stunning 10-try blitz in Cardiff that was ultimately not enough to pip France, who sealed the title after defeating Scotland in Paris later on Super Saturday.

New ‘Super Saturday' to mix up Women's Six Nations
The Guinness Women's Six Nations will introduce a 'Super Saturday' format in 2026, featuring back-to-back matches on a single day in each round to enhance fan experience and global viewership. England, the reigning champions, will begin their title defence against Ireland on Saturday, April 11 at Allianz Stadium Twickenham, marking the start of the revamped tournament. France will host Italy in the opening match on the same day, followed by Scotland 's travel to Wales, setting the stage for a series of competitive games. The competition will culminate in a 'Super Sunday' on May 17, with a potential title-deciding match between England and France as the final fixture. The tournament's new schedule aims to capitalise on the anticipated surge in interest following the Rugby World Cup 2025 in England, positioning the Guinness Women's Six Nations to drive momentum in women's rugby.
