Read our privacy policy Simon Middleton insists his resurgent Red Roses will not take their foot off the gas ahead of next weekend’s hotly-anticipated TikTok Women’s Six Nations Grand Slam decider against France at Twickenham.

England have now swatted aside Scotland, Italy, Wales and Ireland and boss Middleton says they will stick to their tried and tested procedures ahead of next weekend’s title-deciding clash. Besides their high error count, two negatives for England were Hannah Botterman and Packer both hobbling off the pitch in some distress as the Red Roses’ injury list claimed two more names.
