ROME – On Tuesday, March 31, the women’s rugby national team will get serious. The head coach of the Italian Women’s National Team, Fabio Roselli, has announced the list of thirty athletes called up for the training camp at the CPO Giulio Onesti in Rome. Here, they will prepare for their debut on April 11 at 1:25 PM at the Stade Des Alpes in Grenoble in the Guinness Women’s Six Nations 2026 against France.
A team made up of two distinct souls: the wisdom and experience of the veterans and the freshness of the newcomers: the forwards of Colorno Gaia Dosi, Chiara Cheli, and Francesca Andreoli, the second row of Valsugana, nominated for the MVP award of the season in the Women’s Elite Serie A (you can vote for the MVP by clicking here) Elettra Costantini, and the backline of Tolone Rubina Grassi.
