Women’s Six Nations – Schedule, Rosters and more!

Welcome to another year of women’s International rugby! Our USA women’s 7s team will be playing in the USA Sevens International next weekend and the USA 15s had a camp in Florida last month. But we aren’t the only active nation, the European countris of the rugby world are ramping up for Six Nations during February and March.

NOTE: It appears that a few men’s matches will be available in the US on BBC America, but no Women’s matches yet.
