England eye 8th straight Women’s Six Nations title

March 22, 2025

England head into this weekend's opening round of the Women's Six Nations as overwhelming favourites to win an unprecedented eighth successive title and fourth consecutive Grand Slam.

This year’s edition has extra significance as it takes place just months before the August start of the World Cup in England.

For all their European dominance, England have lost the last two World Cup finals to New Zealand ~ including an agonising 34-31 defeat in Auckland three years ago in a tournament delayed by Covid-19.

That reverse constitutes England’s lone defeat in 51 games.

Dealing with that pressure, for a team who averaged a mammoth 54 points per game during last year’s Six Nations, has been a major issue for coach John Mitchell
