Cokayne and Jones set for Ireland clash

Figure image

Two Leicester Tigers players have been selected by England for their round three clash in the 2025 Guinness Women's Six Nations.

The Red Roses travel to Ireland, with both sides emerging victorious from their second round battles with Wales and Italy respectively.

Meg Jones and Amy Cokayne have both been named in the 23-strong squad as England aim to keep their winning record intact.

Jones starts at outside centre off the back of a stupendous score against Wales at the Principality Stadium in round two.

Cokayne, meanwhile, is named amongst the replacements, with the 81 caps won by the hooker making her the most experienced international in this weekend's squad.

This is England's final match before they head to Leicester for their penultimate game of the tournament.

Mattioli Woods Welford Road will host the clash between the Roses and Scotland on Saturday, April 19, with almost 15'000 tickets already sold!

Tickets are available now and can be purchased HERE.
