Double success for Wales U18s Women

It may have been a tough day at the office for the Wales Women’s senior side against England in Gloucester, but the U18 team enjoyed some notable success on the opening day of the women’s Six Nations U8 Festival in Edinburgh.

Both Wales and France went two from two in their matches, each playing 35 minute affairs on a day when six games were played in all.

Liza Burgess’ Welsh side saw off Scotland and then Italy, not conceding a point in the process, while France were too strong for Ireland and then England.

The Welsh got the ball rolling with an impressive 24-0 win over the host nation, with two tries in the final minutes to cap off a four-try showing. They then followed that up with a hard-fought affair against Italy, dominating territory for long periods on their way to a 14-0 win.

France, meanwhile, were equally dominant, powering to a 26-0 success against Ireland in their first game of the day. They did trail in their final match against England, going down 7-5 after five minutes before four unanswered tries allowed them to pull away and record a 29-7 success.

In the other match, there was a rare scoreless encounter as Scotland and Italy played out a stalemate.

Wales now meet Ireland (kick-off 12 noon) on Wednesday, 13 April in their final outing in the tournament. That will be a full game and the match can be viewed live on the Six Nations Under 20 YouTube channel
