The match will be part of a double header with the Men’s U20s side taking on Scotland earlier at 5.30pm also in their Six Nations championship. Both matches will be televised live on Sky Sports. Twickenham Stadium then awaits England on Saturday March 21 for a double header against France alongside England Men. Kick off is at 720pm and rugby fans can watch the match for free with free entry to the stadium after the men’s RBS 6 Nations clash. The match will also be broadcast live on BBC Sport.
Garry Street England Women's Head Coach said “The success of the World Cup has really stimulated the public’s interest in women’s rugby and that coupled with three of the four Rugby World Cup semi-finalists playing in the Six Nations sets this tournament up to be the most exciting yet in my opinion. “We are also really pleased to be playing at some great venues again this season. For the past few years we have been playing at Twickenham Stadium and the Stoop regularly but it is great this season to take the Six Nations in England on the road to the Northern Echo Arena which is a fantastic stadium. “We’ve had long-running success with the Six Nations but most recently France and Ireland have taken the spoils and that makes us hungry to get back to our past successes. It will be no easy task though. We are at the start of a new World Cup cycle so we must expose some of our younger players to international rugby while the Sevens World Series runs concurrently with this tournament. To be successful we have to get the balance right.”
