Scotland and Wales are set to renew rivalries in Edinburgh in the opening round of the 2025 Women's Six Nations on Saturday.

If Sean Lynn is to restore the feel-good factor to Welsh rugby with his winning pedigree, it will clearly take time. His tenure began with an opening round Women’s Six Nations defeat by a well-oiled Scotland side who were slicker in greasy conditions, but on this evidence there are greater days to come.

Ellie Kildunne marked her 50th cap by scoring a hat-trick of tries as England took another step towards retaining the Guinness Women's Six Nations title by crushing Wales 67-12 in Cardiff. The Red Roses full-back completed her treble in just eight second-half minutes as England cruised home at the Principality Stadium.
