England face Wales at 11:00 BST on Tuesday 11th at Wellington College in match day 2 of the Festival, before taking on Scotland at midday in two 35-minute games. Supporters can stream the U18 Festival live on the Six Nations U20 YouTube channel, with tickets available at all three match days of the women’s festival free of charge. 

Cooper’s side started the 2025 Festival in emphatic fashion with four tries from the back three in Hannah Smyth, Jo Vosakiwaiwai and Lily Pereira dos Santos, as well as Tamsin Baynes to defeat Italy 28-5 before succumbing 21-0 to Ireland.  

Cooper said: “Whilst the result against Ireland was disappointing, our players abided by our courageous principles and now with further refinement, they’re incredibly eager to make steps forward at the Festival.  

“Friday’s games were positive learning opportunities for us as a squad. Our players have taken ownership and led their reviews and previews and we’re confident in our processes.”
