The Red Roses' grand slam decider against France marks both a critical moment in the Six Nations and a stepping stone towards a potential World Cup final later this year. Head coach John Mitchell emphasizes the need to focus exclusively on the upcoming match, separating it from future aspirations. With a history of 33 consecutive Six Nations victories, England is familiar with success but hasn't captured the World Cup since 2014. The women's rugby landscape has evolved significantly during this span, with the Red Roses emerging as a standout team in the sport.
If the Red Roses make it to the top of the first one, they will only see the second beyond it.
The years in between have seen the development of a professional game, the introduction of new annual domestic and international competitions.
