The Six Nations Female 2026: Red Roses confirms the lighting for the defense of the title with Twickenham Opender vs Ireland | Rugby Union News
The devices of the six female nations for 2026 have been confirmed, the red roses of England seeking an unprecedented eighth.
In 2025, England held its nerve to hold and beat France 43-42 on the last day at the Allianz Twickenham stadium, sealing a fourth great consecutive historic home, in the context of a seventh trophy in seven years.
There are two modifications to the tournament structure in 2026 because, unlike previous years, each round will see the three lights played successively on the same date. All these Saturdays to a last super Sunday.
The second change sees the window for the change of tournament so that it starts later (April 11) and ends later (May 17).
