France beat Ireland in Women’s Six Nations opener
Gulf Today
|March 24, 2025
France staved off an Ireland fightback to win 27-15 in the opening match of the 2025 Women's Six Nations in Belfast on Saturday.

Both teams scored three tries apiece but while France's Morgane Bourgeois was perfect from the kicking tee, with three conversions and two penalties, Ireland missed all of their conversions.
Last season France were runners-up to England —who begin their quest to win an unprecedented eighth successive title and fourth consecutive Grand Slam, with the Red Roses bidding for more Six Nations glory ahead of this year’s Women’s Rugby World Cup on home soil.
But Ireland, third in 2024, came into this tourna-ment with high hopes following a stunning victory over world champions New Zealand in September.
