Red Roses return to Twickenham as autumn internationals confirmed

England Women will play against France at Twickenham ahead of the men's match against Ireland on Saturday 21 November, the Rugby Football Union has confirmed.

It will be the second leg of a double header against the French, with the first match played at a venue to be confirmed on Saturday 14 November.

Red Roses head coach Simon Middleton said: “We’re looking forward to a really competitive game against France. It’ll be great to play on home soil and where better place to play than Twickenham? It’s the ultimate stage to play on for an English player”.

The side will have the opportunity to complete the Grand Slam when they travel to Italy in the Six Nations on the weekend of 31 October, although a kick-off time and venue are yet to be set.
