England’s Red Roses have once again asserted their dominance in women’s rugby, clinching their 11th Women’s Six Nations title, a feat that now stands as a world record for the most wins in the tournament’s history. Their victories span 2003, 2006–2012, 2017, and a remarkable three successive triumphs from 2019-2021.
The latest victory saw England overcome France in an engaging final at Twickenham Stoop. Despite a change in format for the 2021 tournament, which split the sides into two pools preventing a Grand Slam opportunity, the fully professional English squad showcased their prowess. They edged out a determined French side with a hard-fought 10-6 victory in the final.
This win followed two convincing performances in the group stages, where England secured dominant victories over Italy and Scotland. The Red Roses’ consistent success underscores their status as a powerhouse in international women’s rugby, continually raising the bar for the sport.
