Red Roses V Ireland Preview | Womens Six Nations 2026

Rugby Rodeo

Show Notes

With the 2026 Women’s Six Nations about to kick off, Ellie Kildunne and Jess Breach are back to tee up a massive opening clash: England v Ireland.

We dive straight into camp life — how the girls are feeling heading into round one, what prep week really looks like at Test level, and whether there’s been any chaos (on or off the pitch 👀). From team meetings to individual match-ups, how much detail actually goes into breaking down the opposition?

There’s plenty to get stuck into with a fresh Red Roses lineup as well as looking over at Ireland, who come into this years competition with a point to prove.

Get ready for a HUGE opening weekend… and we’ll see you back here next week.
