England Thumps France to Seal an Eighth Straight Women’s Six Nations Title and Grand Slam

  • On Sunday, May 17, England defeated France 43-28 in Bordeaux, securing a record eighth consecutive Women's Six Nations title and fifth successive Grand Slam.
  • Head coach John Mitchell managed an injury crisis and four pregnancies by fielding an experimental squad, including lock Demelza Short and lineout caller Delaney Burns, neither originally named in the squad.
  • Zoe Harrison enhanced the performance by landing 29 of 31 tournament goalkicks, while England cruised to a six-try victory with only six survivors from the Rugby World Cup squad.
  • England extended their world-record winning streak, confirming the team's continued dominance in the Six Nations competition and unbeaten status through the tournament.
  • French domestic improvements to Elite Feminine and a 71-17 U21 thrashing of England signal rising talent that may soon challenge England's current dominance.
