2026 Guinness Women's Six Nations | RugbyPass' Team of Round 4

There is just one more round of the 2026 Guinness Women’s Six Nations to go.

Round 4 of this year’s Championships saw the Red Roses and France maintain momentum and set up a Grand Slam decider in Bordeaux.

England were 61-33 winners against Italy, Scotland lost 69-28 to France in Edinburgh and Ireland continued to impress with a 33-12 win against Wales at Affidea Stadium.

Each team had their top performers on Saturday afternoon but only 15 can make RugbyPass‘ Team of Round 4…

15. Pauline Barrat (France)

Four caps into her Test career and Pauline Barrat looks as accomplished a full-back as you have ever seen. The 21-year-old was at her attacking best in Edinburgh and topped her team for carries [18], defenders beaten [six] and metres made [136] across her 80 minutes on the artificial turf. Barrat also scored a sensational try in the second half. The solo battle between her and Ellie Kildunne is a major attraction in Round 5.

14. Béibhinn Parsons (Ireland)

Béibhinn Parsons was one of the try-scorers as Ireland waltzed to victory against Wales in Belfast. The wing looked sharp from start to finish at Affidea Stadium on Saturday and continued to show some good form after her hat-trick performance against Italy in Round 2. At the weekend the 23-year-old made 69 metres from 11 carries and made two line breaks.

13. Teani Feleu (France)

For a player not initially selected in François Ratier’s squad, Teani Feleu could not look more at ease in the France backline. The 23-year-old has an uncanny ability to link up play in the midfield and gets through a high volume of work too. Against Scotland she made 11 carries for 42 metres, made 10 passes and completed eight tackles.

12. Eve Higgins (Ireland)

Back in Scott Bemand’s starting side, Eve Higgins put in an extremely well-rounded performance against Wales. It was one of the more gritty outings that you could ever see. A look across her stats tell the story; 16 carries, 71 metres made, 10 passes, three line breaks, nine tackles and one turnover won. Simply superb.

11. Léa Murie (France)

It felt like we saw the best of Léa Murie for France this weekend after several quieter performances from the 27-year-old. In the wake of her team’s win, RugbyPass’ Francisco Isaac rated the wing 8.5/10 as she scored a try at Hive Stadium. It was a prominent attacking performance from the Stade Toulousain wing, who made 124 metres from just seven carries and made four line breaks.

10. Dannah O’Brien (Ireland)

At Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 there was a feeling that Dannah O’Brien lacked a little confidence. It was not much, but had its impact on the pitch as Ireland crashed out at the quarter-final stages. So far at the 2026 Women’s Six Nations, she has executed her team’s kicking game perfectly and has found an extra gear while directing her team around the park.

9. Pauline Bourdon Sansus (France)

The special thing about Pauline Bourdon Sansus is that her baseline is much higher than other scrum-halves. It is hard to look past France’s petite général again this weekend as the half-back put out another 55 minutes on the pitch and helped Les Bleues to another five-point win. Effortless in her tempo and dictating of play, the 30-year-old is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down. Could Bourdon Sansus help France to a first Women’s Six Nations title since 2018 this Sunday?

1. Ellena Perry (Ireland)

Ellena Perry just looks so comfortable in this Ireland front-row. And the 29-year-old does everything well too. She carries well, scrums well and gives everything to her team. At the weekend Perry was on the pitch for 60 minutes, made seven tackles and made 22 metres from seven carries.

2. Amy Cokayne (England)

Amy Cokayne was as metronomic as ever for the Red Roses when it came to the set-piece. Across England’s win against Italy in Parma, Cokayne and Connie Powell contributed to 100 per cent success rate at the lineout. Cokayne made it over the whitewash twice beneath the beating Italian sun before being replaced in the 49th minute.

3. Linda Djougang (Ireland)

We got a lesser-seen 80-minute prop performance from Linda Djougang in Belfast. The 29-year-old contributed to Ireland’s 100 per cent success rate at the scrum and completed eight tackles on the way to a comprehensive victory for Scott Bemand’s side as Djougang continues to go from strength-t0-strength with every performance.

4. Siobhan Soqeta (France)

One of France’s new names coming into this Championship, Siobhan ‘Bonnie’ Soqeta had an afternoon of highs and lows in Edinburgh. In all the lock forward scored a brace, made six tackles and 51 metres from seven carries, but did ultimately leave the pitch with her arm in a makeshift sling. We will find out her availability for Round 5 sooner rather than later, but whichever way you look at it, France have unearthed another high-potential second row.

5. Haineala Lutui (England)

Haineala Lutui’s first England start could not have gone better. The 19-year-old was thrown into the starting line-up as Maddie Feaunati’s late dropout meant that John Mitchell had to reshuffle his pack before kick-off. Her performance included a string of the powerful carries we have become accustomed to seeing in Premiership Women’s Rugby and a growing confidence from the teenager.

6. Brittany Hogan (Ireland)

If it were not for Aoife Wafer’s Player of the Match exploits everyone would have been talking a lot more about Brittany Hogan on Saturday evening. The 27-year-old made a team-high 23 carries against Wales, and a team-high 13 tackles too. She even crossed the whitewash twice. It was mightily impressive stuff. Hogan has been one of Ireland’s most consistent performers all Women’s Six Nations and gets another opportunity to prove just that against Scotland this weekend in Dublin.

7. Marlie Packer (England)

Two games, two Player of the Match awards for Marlie Packer. Now 18 years into her international career we should probably not be surprised by such things. But, even with that said, the 36-year-old was on a different sphere to everyone at the Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi. Packer made it over the try line four times – she is now just two tries behind Sue Day’s all-time record of 61 tries for the Red Roses. She also made 92 metres, beat eight defenders, made 14 carries and completed 13 tackles. Otherworldly.

8. Aoife Wafer (Ireland)

Right, let’s take a minute to digest all of this. Aoife Wafer scored two tries, made 20 carries for 89 metres, beat nine defenders, made four offloads and even completed nine tackles. The 23-year-old, who is reigning Player of the Championship from 2025, looks increasingly comfortable at No.8 and is stringing together a serious body of work this Women’s Six Nations. Only getting better.
