England and France are likely to again be the leading contenders during the 2023 Women’s Six Nations.
Simon Middleton’s Red Roses claimed a fourth successive crown last year with a final-day victory over their cross-Channel rivals in Bayonne.
But with all six nations now offering professional contracts of some kind for the first time, matches across the tournament could be particularly hard-fought
With places in the top tier of the new WXV competition to be determined based on results in this campaign, and this championship marking the start of a new, short World Cup cycle, the 2023 Women’s Six Nations promises plenty.
