The 31-strong group travel to Gloucestershire for a fixture in preparation for the upcoming U18 Women’s Six Nations Festival following on from the third Women’s Player Development Group (PDG) playing opportunity in February.  

England U18 Women are set to face Ireland in Dublin on Sunday 30 March before the 2025 U18 Women’s Six Nations Festival commences, with fixture and venue details to be communicated in due course. 

“The squad are incredibly excited for their first taste of competitive rugby for England this season, with each member eager to impress with a busy month ahead,” said assistant coach Ollie Perry.

“Courage and lead-self have been pillars of our work so far this season and it’s now time for our players to increase their intensity, demonstrate a positive mindset and to bond on the field for the first time.  

“We’re grateful to our hosts in Hartpury for welcoming us this year and look forward to a competitive 70 minutes this Saturday.”
