The friends and teammates of Elli Norkett have paid her an emotional tribute in a match dedicated to the memory of the Wales international. Cardiff Met University players and supporters joined to honour Elli before their match against Loughborough University at Cardiff Arms Park on Friday night.

Scotland Women 15 Wales Women 14 Wales suffered an agonising defeat against Scotland in the Women’s Six Nations clash at Broadwood Stadium on Friday night.

Wales wing Jasmine Joyce is ready to soar as she prepares for her first full senior cap. Joyce, a star of last summer’s Rio Olympics in sevens rugby, starts against Scotland in the Women’s Six Nations on Friday night and is looking to continue the form that elevated her to the world stage. On a global platform last August, Joyce’s impressive speed and spellbinding acceleration saw her leave a trail of defenders in her wake as she shone on the Olympic stage.

Sioned Harries admitted Wales women have a tough week ahead after a crushing 63-0 whitewash by England at Cardiff Arms Park. The Scarlets back-row forward said the squad will have to pick themselves up before facing Scotland in their next Six Nations clash.

Wales Women’s coach Rowland Phillips is expecting a “frenzy” on the field when his team face Italy on Saturday. The Italians beat Wales last season and will be aiming to repeat that on home soil, with Philips admitting they present an unorthodox challenge to his team in their Six Nations opener.

The women’s rugby revolution WILL be televised . . . (mostly). They wear the same kit, with the same badge on the chest. They sing the same anthems. They play by the same rules; same bonus points, same tackle directive. But up until this season media coverage for Women’s Rugby has been far from the same as that enjoyed by their male counterparts. Last weekend’s edition of the Rugby Paper came with a 16 page pull-out guide to the Six Nations; Women’s rugby got just one page.

Wales Women head coach Rowland Phillips has named his team for this Saturday’s opening Women’s Six Nations match against Italy in Ancona (14:00 GMT). Seven players remain in the starting line-up from last year’s team that took on Italy at the Talbot Athletic Ground, including captain and hooker Carys Phillips and openside Rachel Taylor.

Carys Phillips insists she leaves her father behind when she links up with Wales Women, even though he just happens to be her coach. The Ospreys hooker will lead Wales into the Women’s Six Nations for the first time next week after being confirmed as captain by head coach Rowland Phillips, the former Wales men’s back row forward and the national team’s defence coach under Gareth Jenkins.

Wales head coach Rowland Phillips says his team are going in the right direction as the start of the Women’s Six Nations looms on the horizon. Since Phillips took over in 2016, Wales have won all four of their games with their latest success seeing them claim an impressive 22-14 victory over Ireland. That win […]

Wales Women will play away fixtures against Spain and Ireland in the next fortnight as they warm up for the 2017 RBS 6 Nations. The fixture against Spain will be played on Saturday 14th January (16:00 local time) in Villajoyosa in Alicante. Las Leonas claimed the final European place at this year’s Women’s Rugby World Cup after beating Scotland on aggregate back in November.

Head coach Rowland Phillips has named his Wales Women team to take on the UK Armed Forces in Friday’s Remembrance Day match at the BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park (19:30). Showing six changes from the starting XV which defeated Scotland 15-0 a fortnight ago in Cardiff – in what was Phillips’ first match at the helm – Wales Women will be out to make it two from two this autumn in their final competitive match ahead of next year’s Six Nations.

Wales Women’s head coach Rhys Edwards has made four changes and two positional switches for Sunday’s Six Nations finale against Italy at the Talbot Athletic Ground (KO 2pm). Adi Taviner and Kerin Lake replace Dyddgu Hywel and Elinor Snowsill in the backs while Amy Evans and Siwan Lillicrap come in for Catrin Edwards and Rebecca Rowe in the forwards. There could be one further change with Edwards giving Sioned Harries more time to recover from illness after the No8 missed the clash against England.
