The 2022 Women’s Six Nations will be decided by the result of this match on Saturday afternoon.

France and England have both swatted aside Wales, Ireland, Italy and Scotland and now prepare to meet in a winner takes all clash.

The French are looking to become the first side since 2018 to beat the Red Roses - when they won 18-17 on home soil.

But England look like a formidable force who will be very tough to stop as they bid to secure a third successive title.

Here is everything you need to know about the Women’s Six Nations match.

Prediction

England have not been beaten in the Women’s Six Nations since 2018 when France got the better of them in a thriller. It was in that 18-17 defeat that the Red Roses picked themselves up off the floor and began this incredible run. But this may well be where it also comes to an end. France win.
