This week went up another level. Things started to click and it was great to see how we started to piece bits of our attack and defence together.
Sarah McKenna has received her first England call-up under John Mitchell as part of a training squad that contains eight uncapped players.
Exeter Chiefs flanker Maddie Feaunati and Trailfinders Women prop Liz Crake have both earned full-time England contracts for the 2024-25 season.
John Mitchell has named three uncapped players in his first Women’s Six Nations squad as England coach, while there are returns for Zoe Harrison, Emily Scarratt and Abbie Ward.
Following Wasps’ final game in the Premier 15s, captain Liz Crake, interim head coach Oli Bishop, and club legend Helen Harding paid tribute to their final season and the legacy that is being left behind.
16 rounds of the Premier 15s played. Two remain. It’s almost closing time. Gloucester-Hartpury, Exeter Chiefs, Saracens, and – in all likelihood – Bristol Bears have nabbed themselves invites to the after-party: a helter-skelter double header of do-or-die, foot-to-the-floor rugby.
England have named a team to face Italy this Sunday in the TikTok women’s Six Nations which shows three changes from last weekend’s round one win over Scotland.
Simon Middleton has named an England team to face Scotland in Saturday’s TikTok Women’s Six Nations which shows seven changes from the side that started the Rugby World Cup last November.
As Wasps savoured their moment of magic, a concurrent plot played out. Yes, they had de-bagelled themselves in the standings–but they were also en route to shipping nine tries, and finding themselves with just five matches left in the league.
England Women's Head coach Simon Middleton has named a 42-player training squad for the 2023 TikTok Women’s Six Nations, made up of 23 forwards and 19 backs.
