The opening two weekends of the TikTok Women’s Six Nations gave us plenty of entertainment and now Round 3 is fast approaching.
The fallow week is over and with a thrilling title race on the cards as Wales, England and France have all won their opening two matches, it is certainly time to get excited again ahead of Round 3.
Last time out France claimed a rampant 53-3 win over Ireland at Musgrave Park, while Wales made it two from two themselves with a narrow 34-22 win over Scotland in Edinburgh. t
Then on Sunday, reigning champions and World Cup runners-up England ran out 68-5 winners against Italy at Franklin’s Gardens as they look to end Simon Middleton’s England reign on a high.
Fans can look forward to three more enticing fixtures this weekend when Round 3 finally gets underway, and here are all the details for where to watch and listen to every minute of action in the UK, Ireland and the USA.
Wales v England
Time: 2:15pm
Date: Saturday 15 April
Location: Cardiff Arms Park
Two unbeaten teams clash in a mouth-watering encounter in Cardiff as Wales look to show how much they have improved since their 58-5 defeat to eventual Grand Slam winners England last year.
Lark Davies and Jess Breach both scored braces that day, as England went on to score 10 tries, including one from captain and No.8 Sarah Hunter.
Kelsey Jones was the sole scorer for Wales that day, but this year they will be hoping to overcome England in what is expected to be a much closer encounter.
Live television coverage of the clash will get underway at 2pm on BBC Two ahead of a 2:15 kick-off in the UK, while in the USA the action can be viewed on Flo Sports.
Italy v Ireland
Time: 4:45pm
Date: Saturday 15 April
Location: Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi
Both sides will have been using the fallow week to try to end their losing streak after both sides have come unstuck in both of their opening two matches.
Le Azzurre came close against France, eventually falling to a 22-12 defeat, before a more convincing defeat to England in Northampton in Round 2, while Ireland have struggled against both Wales and France so far.
Last year Ireland claimed a credible 29-8 win in Cork, with Katie O’Dwyer scoring the bonus point try at the death but in Parma this time around it will be a different equation.
Live television coverage will begin at 4:45pm on BBC iPlayer in the UK, while in Ireland, the match can be seen on Virgin Media 2, with coverage beginning at 4:30pm and in the USA, Flo Sports is again the place to be.
France v Scotland
Time: 3:15pm
Date: Sunday 16 April
Location: Stade de la Rabine
Les Bleues are two wins from two as they were last year when the two sides met, while Scotland are also in the same spot after back-to-back defeats.
Last year, a Laure Sansus inspired France went on to win 28-8 at Scotstoun on their way to a second place finish, but there were a lot of positives to take for Bryan Easson’s team, as they won the second half 5-0 thanks to Chloe Rollie’s try.
They will be hoping to take that positive into this year’s clash, while France will be hoping to go three from three again.
That match can also be seen live on BBC iplayer, while it is live on BBC Scotland from 3pm and in America, you can tune in on Flo Sports.
