Guinness Women's Six Nations
This Saturday marks the opening round of the Guinness Women's Six Nations, and it's set to be a thrilling contest. Ireland, fresh off a strong third-place finish last year, will be looking to build on that success as they face the 2024 runners-up, France, in this highly anticipated tournament opener.
