Can anyone stop the Red Roses? It’s the key question being asked going into the second round of the Women’s Six Nations 2026.

England have won seven consecutive editions of the tournament and won the Women’s Rugby World Cup since last year’s triumph.

It would take a mighty effort for a team to dislodge England at the top, and they proved their talent again with an opening triumph over Ireland.

England face Scotland this weekend, while Wales host France and Ireland welcome Italy to their shores.

Radio Times brings you all the TV coverage details for the Women’s Six Nations 2026.
