Following Jean-Claude Baqué's statement before the 2010 tournament regarding the aims of the European Trophy, all Six Nations teams were to be "A" teams, and their matches were therefore not "tests". However, though they were called "France A" the French team were their main squad, while Italy "A" teams included 17 of the 22 players from the squad that beat Scotland in the Six Nations a few weeks before. England "A" was also a stronger than normal selection - 11 players had full international caps, including six who had played in the 2011 Six Nations.

Some of the largest crowds ever to watch women's rugby in Spain attended the home team's games, rising from 1,500 for their opening fixture to a near capacity 2,500 for the final.[2]

All games were 35 minutes each way.

gollark: You should make a font which displays it as incomprehensible runes instead.
gollark: How is that even done, ligature abuse?
gollark: No. This is much worse oh bee oh bee.
gollark: It looks somewhat better when the font size is bigger admittedly, but it's still quite æ.
