Wow! What a fantastic opening round of rugby to kick off this year’s Guinness Women’s Six Nations. While wins in Le Mans and Parma were heavily predicted, Cardiff hosted an epic Celtic showdown where Scotland held on with the tips of their fingers for their first win in Wales in 20 years and their seventh successive win. A late Alex Callendar try provided a nervy finish for the visitors but the conversion went unsuccessful and Scotland took the W in the first round.
