Five Leicester Tigers players were involved as the 2024 Guinness Six Nations reached it's penultimate week.

Four players were involved in a historic victory for Scotland, as they recorded a win away in Italy for the first time the history of the Six Nations.

Eva Donaldson began the match at second row, the lock intergal in her 70 minutes as she enjoyed her first ever international start.

Wing Francesca McGhie, meanwhile, showed she's back to full fitness after playing the full 80 minutes in her first start of the 2024 championship.

From the replacements, front row pair Leah Bartlett and Elis Martin both entered from the bench to help solidify Scotland's lead and secure the famous win in Parma.

Elsewhere, centre Meg Jones scored twice for England as the Red Roses were rampant in an 88 - 10 victory over Ireland.

The Team GB 7s co-captain got her first scores of the 2024 championship in her third successive start and demonstrated her diversity of skills with two juxtaposing scores.

The first was a brutally taken short line that saw the centre crash through two covering defenders and creating a fraction of space to reach out and score.

The second was pure magic, a sequence of successive sidesteps that stopped Ireland in their tracks as almost 50'000 people got to their feet inside Twickenham to celebrate as Jones dived over jubilantly.
