The first kick-off in this third round of games is over and France is still on course for what could be a decisiony of the Grand Slam in their final game in Twickenham. Fans Welsh Rugby: we are afraid that the relationship below means that you are still waiting for some good news late …
France has maintained their perfect start for the campaign of the six female nations With a victory of 42-12 Bonus points on Wales to Bright to stay on course for the Grand Slam.
After Emilie Boulard, in the initial XV, was landed in the corner to give France an initial advantage, Wales replied when Kate Williams was pushed following a line. The Boulard wing extended the advantage with a second attempt to the 16th minute after a stronger transport by the French package, only for Wales to get another score at a range close by Gwen Crabb.
Rose Bernadou therefore saw an attempt excluded for a ball left falling, but, with the clock in red, the prostitute Manon Bigot was crossed after a linesut and Morgane Bourgeois added the extras to give France an advantage in half time 21-12. The French co-pointed manaé Feleu crashed for four minutes in the second half to ensure a bonus point, before the Wales-Battuta by Scotland and then was beaten by England in Cardiff-he tried by Courtney Keight excluded for the obstruction in the accumulation.

It is a compliment for Ireland that John Mitchell has made 13 changes between the first two games of England-Nominate what seems like a complete side. Returning after the suspension, Alex Matthews makes his first start in this year’s competition, replacing Maddie Feaunati at n. 8. The stage objects Maud Muir and Hannah Botterman are the other changes, arriving at Mackenzie Carson (excluded for the tournament with an ankle injury) and Sarah Bern.
Ireland also makes three changes: Dorothy Wall, Brittany Hogan and Emily Lane are rewarded for impressively impressed the bench in the 54-12 victory in Italy with points in the initial XV. The hosts are without Edel McMahon and Enya Breen due to an injury. The nascent star Aoife wafer who rubs with Matthews could be: tasty.

Preamble
England is on a shot: unbeaten in 31 games of six female nations and with the maximum points from their two opening games in 2025 – but this is not the same team from Ireland that they made to touch Twickenham last year. In Cork, the red roses are facing a young and improved team that has made great strides since they collected the wooden spoon in this competition two years ago.
The extraordinary result of Ireland since it is Shocking World Champions League New Zealand Last autumn, even if it could be an even more seismic disturbance if Scott Bemand’s team can make the train derail in England apparently unstoppable. The Irish have lost some opportunities during a W6n defeat of opening by France, but he roar again to attack 54 points on Italy in Parma.
This means that both sides have players who come into play after Triplette: Amy Mcgann in Italy and Ellie Kildunne, the world player in charge of the year by putting A acute nine minutes on Wales. Ouch. England has a quality in the whole field, but it is a year of the home world cup, so each game is in the hearing for this.
One thing we can expect is a lively atmosphere: at the beginning of the week over 7000 tickets were sold for the Virgin Media Media Park of 8,008 capacity (perhaps Musgrave Park in many rooms, perhaps). So it will be a seat or a preparation almost. Can Ireland keep their nerve, not to be overwhelmed and give a test to their visitors? Or do England light up? We are about to find out with Kick-off at 4.45 pm bst.
