Your Guide to the Guinness Women's Six Nations
The weather is unpredictable, the rivalries are fierce, and the hits are uncompromising. Welcome back to the most electric women’s rugby tournament in the Northern Hemisphere.
The Guinness Women’s Six Nations represents the absolute pinnacle of international rugby. Six powerhouse squads - England, France, Wales, Italy, Ireland, and Scotland.
But to play a game this fast, this tactical, and this brutal, you need equipment that can keep up. That is where we come in. At Gilbert Rugby, we have been setting the standard since 1823, and we are proud to continue supplying our balls to the centre of the game.
Whether you are looking to emulate your favorite international fly-half or want a keepsake for your mantelpiece, we have the ultimate breakdown of this year's 6 nations rugby balls.
