It has also extended its support as title backers of the men’s tournament, which began four years ago.
The Guinness Women’s Six Nations kicks off on March 23 – defending champions England start their campaign away to Italy – and ends on April 27.
“This is a defining moment for rugby, with huge potential on the horizon and a genuine opportunity to widen the audience for the sport, to help secure its future,” Six Nations Rugby chief executive Tom Harrison said.
“The women’s game is the biggest growth engine for rugby, and through this partnership Guinness will help accelerate this.”

Not directly from the penalty awarded, but it is speculation to say that had they opted to take the koi they would have won. Even if they kicked it, which was no guarantee, they would still be trailing and would have had to start again at half-way.
