Women’s Six Nations: Meg Jones and Aoife Wafer shortlisted for Player of the Tournament

Meanwhile, after last year’s successful Rugby World Cup in England, organizers have revealed the continued growth of the competition and the statistics of the women’s game in general.

The tournament welcomed a record 279,750 fans to the stadium, with new attendance records for a women’s Six Nations match in five of the six participating countries.

This total surpasses the previous Women’s Six Nations mark of 188,128 set in 2024.

The record television audience ended with 5.87 million people around the world tuning into the final round of matches across six countries, the most for a single-round fixture in the tournament’s history.

BBC One’s coverage of England and France’s Grand Slam decider that day attracted 1.6m and a 17.9% audience share – both records for a Women’s Six Nations game shown in the UK.

On the pitch, there was a record number of tries, a total of 147 for an average of 9.8 per game.
