Following last year's exciting final, we were delighted to return to Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, to support the Red Roses as they kicked off their Women's Six Nations campaign against Ireland in the first round.
Before the match, Guides and Rangers from Hersham district and Twickenham division joined Rangers from North West England put their Love Rugby skills to work on the pitch, playing touch rugby as fans began to enter the stadium.
Together with their leaders, the girls joined 39 volunteers from across the region to bring out the Red Roses banners as fireworks exploded and the anthems played in front of another record attendance and viewership for the women's game. Included in those figures were many units who had a day out to watch!
Meanwhile, volunteers and staff from Girlguiding's 6 regions in England met with England Rugby colleagues to celebrate the partnership so far and discuss plans for the future, including a brand-new Rainbows offer we're excited to launch later this year.
The Red Roses did not disappoint, continuing their 35-match Six Nations winning streak with a 33-12 victory over Ireland. We wish them luck in the rest of the tournament!
