Unfortunately, at this year’s Six Nations championships, the boys from England failed to bring home the win. Ireland ultimately walked away with the trophy for the second year in a row. But now, it’s time for the women to show the boys how it’s done as they battle it out in the Women’s Six Nations
Since we’re the reigning champions (for five years in a row!), you can bet it’s going to be an unmissable tournament. Fancy catching all the action in a room full of rugby fans? Head to one of these brilliant spots to watch the Women’s Six Nations.
1. Twickenham Stadium, Twickenham
Okay, so you can’t watch all of, or even most of, the women’s Six Nations action on the pitch at Twickenham. But there will be one special match-up on April 20 when England will ‘return to HQ’ to face off against Ireland. There will even be a special half-time performance from none other than ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor. The stadium will turn into a dancefloor for the crowd as the two rugby teams get a break from the action.
Tickets are available now, and start at just ยฃ20 for adults, and ยฃ5 for juniors! Act fast (last year’s fixture saw the stadium filled with 58,000 fans watching the match) and secure your tickets here.

2. The George,Fitzrovia
If there’s one thing you can rely on at this luxurious-feeling boozer – it’s one of Britian’s best-looking pubs – it’s that they’ll be showing all the sporting action. And while many of London’s pubs seem happy to ignore the women’s Six Nations, The George is proudly showing ALL of the matches. And they’ll even be serving their special Guinness Six Nations Menu with snack platters, heaping cheeseburgers and fried chicken sandwiches, hefty pies, and plenty of Guinness.

You won’t miss a second of the action or a drop of your pint!

4. Beechwoord Sports Pub & Kitchen, Shoreditch
Beechwood makes a bold claim about their sports viewing sessions. They boast that they’re so passionate about sports, and get so invested in the action, that guests experience “an atmosphere thatโs just as good as being there”. Which sounds pretty fantastic to us! Guests can rock up to enjoy all of the Women’s Six Nations match-ups. Add to that their Six Nations specials (did someone say Guinness Gravy Dip Burger? Yes, they did!), and a pint or three of Guinness, and you’ve got yourself a good time.

It’s a brilliant spot for all the Six Nations action – and they even have a private room that can be booked out for up to 40 people! Fancy a Women’s Six Nations watching party?

Disappointingly, not many pubs and bars around London seem to be gearing up to show the Women’s Six Nations this year – despite the Red Roses gearing up for their sixth championship win in a row. Hopefully, more venues around London will join in the action soon with more viewing parties for everyone to enjoy!
