Hosts will need to overcome John Mitchell’s all-conquering England side who are targeting a sixth straight title
The last time England lost in the women’s Six Nations Theresa May was prime minister, Chelsea were defending Premier League champions and The Shape of Water had just won best picture at the Oscars. Since that defeat the Red Roses have won 28 consecutive games in the competition, scoring 1,440 points and conceding 185, and claimed five Women’s Six Nations titles in a row. And the winners that fateful day in 2018? France.
On Saturday in Bordeaux France will have their latest chance to end England’s reign in a winner-takes-all grand slam decider. But the French will have to overcome a dominant beast in John Mitchell’s team who are targeting not only a sixth straight title but a third straight slam.
