    Wales 0-12 England

    Finally something for the home crowd to cheer as Wales move the ball down the line, but a loose pass throws possession away once more.

    Wales have to hold on to it better if they are to get back into this game.

    Wales pick and go deep inside their own half without making many yards.

    England steal the ball and shift it wide before Zoe Harrison prods through off her bright green boot.

    Wales collect the ball and clear their lines but the visitors are dictating the pace of the game early on.

    Amazing work from Zoe Harrison made that try happen but England are not committing many players to the breakdown because they don't have to which means they have players out wide to pass to.

    12-0 after only six minutes - it's going to be a very interesting game, let's say.

    Wales get up towards the English 22 for the first time in the game with a neat kick through.

    Can they put some pressure on the England line-out now?

    That's Jess Breach's fourth try of the Women's Six Nations. That tally could go up by a few today if this start is anything to go by.

    A great start by England, mixing it up, moving the ball, punching holes and a great finish by Sarah Bern who is so strong and powerful and she did really well to finish it.

    Wales are very physical, they never give up, they run after you even when you've scored a game. They will be aggressive and will look to take England on in the forwards.

    There is currently a minute's silence for Frances Margerison, an influential figure in the early days of women's rugby in Wales.

    Margerison was a Wales and GB international and the first chair of the Welsh Women's Rugby Union, working to establish the women's game in the country.

    Here's a quick look at the table.

    The Italian men could definitely draw some inspiration from the women's team as the Azzurre currently lead the way.

    England can leapfrog Italy with victory in Cardiff today, although a bonus-point home win would see Wales move above Ireland into fourth.
