At Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi in Parma on 25 aprile 2026, Italy’s women’s team beat Scotland 41-14 in the Guinness Women’s Six Nations, with the match reaching 29-0 at halftime.

With a weekend pause completed, the next fixture for Italy is against England on Saturday 9 May, with On Rugby saying the match is the fourth day’s opener at 15:00 at Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi di Parma. On Rugby also lists where to watch, saying the game is on Sky Sport Max (canale 206) and streaming on NOW and SkyGo. The BBC’s fixtures and coverage guide similarly sets the kick-off for Italy v England in Parma for Saturday, 9 May at 14:00 BST, live on BBC Two.
In the same BBC coverage, England are described as the women’s Six Nations champions seeking to make it four wins from four, after a 33-12 victory over Ireland on 11 April. The BBC also notes that Italy’s Scotland win came after heavy away losses to France and Ireland, while Scotland’s head coach Sione Fukofuka led them in a campaign that included a 24-19 win over Wales at Principality Stadium.
Standings and tournament stakes
The BBC standings context places England and France close, saying they trail England in the standings on points difference and that the two teams meet in the title decider on Sunday, 17 May in Bordeaux. In that same BBC overview, Ireland are set to host Wales in Belfast on 18:30 BST, seeking to reclaim third place after their defeat by France. El Mundo’s Six Nations report describes France’s championship run as it revalidated the title after a 48-46 win over England in Paris, with France winger Bielle-Biarrey crossing four times and Ramos kicking the winning points as time expired.
“France winger Bielle-Biarrey crossing four times and his teammate Ramos, who kicked the winning points (48-46) as time expired.”
El Mundo also says France scored 211 points in Six Nations 2026, averaging more than 40 per match, while England scored 46 on Saturday after totaling only 107 in the four previous matches. Together, the tournament framing from the BBC and the match narrative from El Mundo set the stakes for Italy’s remaining games, with Italy’s 41-14 win over Scotland positioned as a step up to third in the BBC’s account.
