Round 1 saw defending champions England enjoy a dream start in their bid for three consecutive Championship titles as they ran in eight tries to defeat Scotland 52-10 in Pool A.

France also hit the ground running in Pool B as Les Bleues matched the Red Roses’ try tally in their 53-0 win over Wales, including a record-equalling hat-trick from Caroline Boujard.

WATCH WOMEN’S SIX NATIONS ROUND 2 HERE

This year’s format sees two pools of three teams face each other once, with the sides from the corresponding positions in each group then meeting on Super Saturday Finals Day.

That means each team will sit out one round of action and this weekend sees Italy and Ireland join the Championship party as France and Scotland wait on the sidelines.

Italy open their Pool A campaign against the Red Roses in Saturday’s first game before Ireland travel to Pool B opponents Wales for their Championship curtain-raiser.

And here’s how you can watch each game from the second round.
