Three Chiefs Women in Red Roses’ Six Nations squad

Three Exeter Chiefs Women have been named in the 38-player Red Roses squad ahead of the Guinness Women’s Six Nations.

Rugby World Cup champions Maddie Feaunati and Claudia Moloney-MacDonald will be joined by Flo Robinson when the squad re-group for training ahead of the tournament.

The Red Roses kick off the defence of their title against Ireland with their opening game against Ireland at Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium on 11 April (KO 14:25) before heading to Murrayfield Stadium to take on Scotland on 18 April (KO 13:30).

Their other home game is against Wales at Ashton Gate Stadium on April 25 (KO 14:15) before flying out to Italy then France for the weekends of 9 May and 17 May respectively.

Never one to count her chickens, Feaunati said: “Obviously, bar selection, I am super excited to hopefully have the opportunity to be a part of such a massive Six Nations. I’m super grateful to be a part of that.

“It's an exciting competition, especially to me personally, because it’s where I made my debut versus Italy a couple of years ago now. It's an exciting tournament full of history that's a really big privilege to be a part of.

“All those teams and nations, you look forward to coming up against. There are lots of teams now that I know a lot of the girls, obviously, through the PWR. So, it's super exciting because you know someone now in every team.”
