    It's a gloriously sunny day in Italy where England are taking on Italy in the Women's Six Nations.

    England beat Scotland 32-0 in their opening match last weekend, while Italy lost 39-9 to France.

    Will today's match be as one-sided? Well, perhaps not. It's 7-7 in the first half.

  6. Team newspublished at 14:20

    Guy Noves has decided to add a couple of sledgehammers and a stiletto to his selection this weekend. 

    After calling up Vrimi Vakatwa last week, Guy Noves has now recalled exciting but unpredictable winger Teddy Thomas after less then an hour's action.

    Up front the massive Uini Atonio and the simply very large Jefferson Poirot come into the front row.

  7. France are more unpredictable than everpublished at 14:16

    Along with "a good big 'un will always beat a good little 'un" and Jose Mourinho's third-season meltdown, "you never know which France will turn up" is one of sport's most reliable cliches.

    For the best part of the past decade Les Bleus have been trying to play a conservative game, looking to ape England, of all things. 

    But not any more. Veteran former Toulouse coach Guy Noves - French rugby's equivalent of Sir Alex Ferguson - has taken the reins, and he's decided the best way for France to win is to return to their attacking past.

  9. A blast from the pastpublished at 14:09

    Among the things we learned last week - Scotland have the cutting edge of a Tunnock's tea cake, number eights should leave the kicking to backs - was that French flair is back!

    Well, maybe.

  17. Well over a century of historypublished at 13:34

    This is the 122nd edition of the Championship. It's very much the faithful old labrador of sporting tournaments, friendly, familiar but still capable of baring it's teeth on occasion.

    Last weekend saw a combined points difference of just eight across the three games - will it all be so close this weekend?
