Welcome to Edition 4 of THE VORTEX VOICE, a weekly compendium of all things Rugby.
The big news this week in the Women’s Six Nations were the close games
between Scotland and Ireland with Scotland winning just at 26-19 and England
v France. This classic rivalry was an even closer game with the English
victorious by one point only at 43-42. In the other group game Italy defeated
Wales easily by 44-12.
These close games are what make the Women’s Six Nations tournaments so
exciting. If you live in an area where you get to see some of these games, then
buy the tickets online and go. You won’t regret seeing the best of Women’s
rugby. See more information at www.world.rugby.
Games have been announced for the Rugby Men’s World Cup in Australia in 2027
