We saw some cracking tries in Round 3 and it’s now time for you to vote for your Women’s Six Nations Try of the Round.

A – Romane Menager (Ireland v FRANCE)

Despite the game being all but over as a contest heading into the second half, France didn’t take their foot off the gas against Ireland and eventually ran out 56-15 winners.

Les Bleues were excellent in the first 40 and scored five first-half tries but arguably the pick of their seven scores came from Menager in the second half.

The replacement ran a brilliant line down the right wing and stepped past Ireland full-back Eimear Considine for the score, bringing France’s coaching team to their feet in applause.

B – Manuela Furlan (Scotland v ITALY)

Italy captain Manuela Furlan grabbed a hat-trick as the Azzurre saw off Scotland 41-20 at Scotstoun to secure second place in Pool A.

And her first try of the game makes our shortlist, as Italy’s hot start was too much for Scotland to handle.

It came from a Scotland lineout that went loose, with Italy immediately transferring the ball out wide to the left.

Vittoria Ostuni Minuzzi made ground before finding Michaela Sillari who shifted the ball on to Furlan. She then put on the afterburners and raced home for the second try.

C – Emilie Boulard (Ireland v FRANCE)

France’s start was so impressive against Ireland and Boulard was involved in both of their first two tries, setting up the first and scoring the second.

Her try came from a brilliant turnover from Cyrielle Banet, who ripped the ball from Eimear Considine in the tackle just inside the French half.

Laure Sansus then box-kicked into the space over the top and Boulard showed her pace to kick on further before touching down over the line.

D – Ilaria Arrighetti (Scotland v ITALY)

Scotland fell 12-0 behind against Italy but cut that gap to two points thanks to a Lana Skeldon try.

But just before half-time, Italy pulled clear again thanks to an excellent Ilaria Arrighetti score.

With the clock nearly in the red, Scotland failed to collect the restart, and a few phases later Sillari’s delayed pass opened up a huge gap for Arrighetti, who obliged by sprinting clear and under the posts. Sillari slotted the extras and Italy were back in control at the interval.
