International women´s rugby LIVE Print

England will meet New Zealand for the first time since the 2010 World Cup, at Twickenham on November 26.

The last time they met, New Zealand narrowly won the final 13-10 at a near-capacity Twickenham Stoop to become World Champions for the fourth time straight.

England has recently played a two-test series against France (4th in 2010), with the French winning both games by a narrow margin. The English will return to a full strength squad against New Zealand, boasting 16 players returning from 2010. Meanwhile, the New Zealand women have not played an international since the World Cup, and eight new caps are included in the squad. Carla Hohepa, 2010 IRB Women´s Rugby Personality of the Year, is one of the noticeable omissions.

SKY is showing the game at Twickenham live, kick-off at 18:00 (Norwegian time) on 26 November. It is not every day that we are able to see international women´s rugby live, so speak to your local pub and find out if they can show the game. Then round up your players and a bunch of their friends and make a real ladies day out of it!
