U18s: France and England unbeaten

To promote an appropriate and competitive playing environment, teams will each play four 35-minute fixtures across the first two match days followed by one full 70-minute fixture on the final match day.

This format allows each team to play one another, every player to start at least one fixture and each Union to benchmark the progress of their female athletes across the competitive spectrum.

The 70-minute matches on Matchday 3 begin with France and England, before Wales take on Italy. The day concludes with Scotland's clash against Ireland.

Results and latest scores:

RESULT: England 19-12 Ireland

An early try in the second minute for Ellie Wilson, breaking away to score under the posts after an Irish knock-on. Most of the play was at England's end, and after 10m a perfect interception try by Caitriona Finn pulled the scores level, Finn converting her own score. After 16m Alma Atagamen powered through the English defence to put Ireland ahead, 12-7. In the 27th minute England finally broke out of their half, and Molly Bunker set up Sarah Parry for England's second try, converted by Bunker. A rain shower made the ball slippery in the final minutes, with Ireland's Emma Jane Wilson knocking on just short of the line. With the clock in the red Abigail Pritchard completed a flowing England backline move for a third try in the corner.

RESULT: England 19-19 Italy

Italy were straight onto the attack, and in the second minute Alessia Cagnotto scored their first try. The next 10 minutes were even until a kick ahead by England was misjudged by an Italian defender, allowing Solana Shaw de Leon to grab the loose ball an score. But Italy's forwards were dominating the set piece, and after winning one scrum against the head, set up a firm base for a move that saw Vittoria Zeni add a second try in the 18th minute. England struck straight back, some excellent kicks setting up an attack from which Iley Bailey's power allowed her to drive over. However two minutes later England were down to 14 with a yellow given to Wilson. Italy looked certain to score, but knocked on inches from the line. The rain now returned, but Italy continued to drive forward allowing Alice Antonazzo to use her size to power over. England threw everything at Italy in the final minutes, with Italy going down to 14 with two minutes to go before, with the clock in the red, England turned over an Italian scrum allowing Isabel van der Straaten to score. Natalee Evans converted to tie the game.

RESULT: Ireland 20-0 Italy

Ireland were on the board first in the 6th minute, after a fumble from an Italian defender allowed Emma Brogan to score. Four minutes later a great run from Sarah Purcell brushed through the Italian defence for a second try. The power of Alma Atagamen was evident in her try against England, and Italy found her unstoppable inside 5m when she scored Ireland's third try in the 19th minute. Leah Irwin finally rounded off a strong performance by Ireland with fourth try from the final play.

RESULT: France 34-0 Scotland

It took France just over a minute to score, a powerful start, Scotland unable to clear theie lines, and Agnes Nau powering over. Three minutes later and France were back on the Scots line again, overwhelming the defence and Perrine Fagnen scoring a second try. In the 10th minute, and Maud Barcelot barged through a number of Scots tackles in a 20m run to score in the corner. In the 22nd minute France won another scrum against the head, and this time it was swung to Cherrazade Saiki who sidestepped through Scotland for a fourth try. Two minutes later and a great team try saw France go the length of the field, Fagnen getting her second try. Just before the half hour, and Jade Gamon sprinted from halfway with none of the Scots able to stop her.

RESULT: Wales 12-31 France

Anna Daniel finally got France on the board after 10 minutes that had mainly been dominated by Welsh possession, after a long period of play that saw France work their way from inside their own 22 to the Welsh line. Two minutes later and Daniel was across the line again after a great run from Aelig Tregouet. A yellow card followed for a high tackle by Lily Hawkins with France in full flow, and with a player up another French try followed from the penalty, this time by Elina Folituu. But it was not all France, and despite being down to 14 Wales attacked from the restart and Shannelle Williams forced her way over. Nevertheless on the halfhour it was Faustine Piscicelli spotting a gap and scoring France's fourth try, and then almost from the restart Anais Peralez scored a fifth sprinting down the touchline. The last word was with Wales, and a try for Evie Hill

RESULT: Wales 12-0 Scotland

After an even opening 10 minutes, where Scotland had most of the chances, it was Seren Lockwood who opened the scoring with a remarkable tapped penalty. Wales spent most of the rest of the game down to 14, but Scotland were unable to take advantage, and Wales ended the game with second try, this time from Ffion Davies.
