    After five rounds of fixtures, the Celtic Challenge Cup group stage has come to an end and now we enter the play-offs.

    Edinburgh finished second with four wins from five, while Glasgow had a tougher time, finishing bottom after five defeats.

    But that's not the end for these sides as it鈥檚 time for the play-offs, which takes the form of two round-robin pools of three.

    Edinburgh will welcome the Wolfhounds who sit top of the table before their final match at Parc y Scarlets against the Clovers.

    Glasgow host Brython Thunder at Scotstoun before heading to the Kingspan Stadium to face Gwalia Lightning.

  3. What is the Celtic Challenge?published at 13:34 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February

    The Celtic Challenge tournament, a cross-border club competition organised by the IRFU, Scottish Rugby and WRU with financial support from World Rugby, it provides a high-performance platform ahead of the Women鈥檚 Six Nations and aims to bridge the gap between the domestic and international women鈥檚 games in the three Celtic nations.

    Following the successful pilot which took place across January and February last year, the tournament will be expanded to include two club teams from each union with a total of six teams competing. The expansion offers further opportunities to increase the number of fixtures played, providing more competitive game time and appealing to more players to compete in their country of origin which will ultimately underpin the strength and sustainability of the international game.

    The four teams from Ireland and Wales will be known as Wolfhounds, Clovers, Brython Thunder, and Gwalia Lightning.
