Female Six Nations 2025: The English Red Roses are looking for a historic fourth Grand Slam consecutive | News of rugby
Six women have existed since 1996, and the English red roses seek to equalize their best victories in consecutive titles – seven. Still, they also have a view of part of history. Neither side has ever drawn up four Grand Slam victories in a row.
The dominance of Red Roses in this championship was the extremely overwhelming last time.
2024 traveled to Italy, Scotland and France and won 48-0, 46-0 and 42-21. At home, they beat Wales 46-10 and destroyed Ireland 88-10.
France won the Grand Slam in 2018 and 2014, while Ireland won the title of Grand Slam 2013 and 2015. Fixing against these teams used to be difficult tasks for England, but they are no longer. This side of red roses is phenomenal and focused on the laser at the Rugby World Cup later this year.
For all their dominance of six nations, the same period was not translated into the glory of the World Cup. Red roses surpassed New Zealand in the 2017 finals, but entered the 2021 finals (played in 2022. Because of the covid) as huge favorites. Black ferns won in an incredible conflict of 34-31 in Eden Park.
These extremely disappointing occasions led to the chief coach John Mitchell to Pregig, and everything is being built towards red roses finally re -inserted the greatest honor in sports. Ever since he lost to France in Twickenham in 2015, England has, for example, have won 21 direct tests on home soil.
Between 2006 and 2012, Red Roses won seven titles six nations in a row – something this current group has the opportunity to equalize in 2025 – but the 2009 campaign lost to Wales in Taff on the way to the trophy lift.
This defeat means that England compiled a three -big straw race in a row on both sides in 2009, but never four.
The period between 1999 and 2001 also saw that the red roses were compiled three grandiosis to three, before France requested a pure section of 2002.
And what about current running? The headlines in 2019 and 2020 brought Grand Slam, as well as the current movement of three (2022, 2023, 2024), but the 2021 championship drops only as a title. Why? Since each nation played only three knots because of Coida, England is happy for France 10-6 in Twickenham to ask for a trophy.
Therefore, 2025 brings the opportunity to achieve what no red rose before did: four Grand Slam wins in a row.
Main coach Mitchell recently said that the power in the depth of players at his disposal means that he could truly name two completely different initial XV that could compete. This is something Claudia Macdonald said Sky Sports Maybe the biggest advantage of red roses.
“No one was said to play certain minutes or games. There are so many strengths in depth and so many choices [for Mitchell]”Macdonald said.
“We know that this is one of our greatest forces as a team – you could have two separate teams of 15 years. This is just the case of connecting everyone on the trip.
“At the end of the year there is a World Cup, but it is currently six nations. Yes, we are competitive individuals, but first we are red roses. We have a great culture.
“It’s so nice to bypass [England play Italy in York on Sunday]. The Rugby World Cup this year is the growth of a desire for young girls to play rugby. We want as many people as possible to watch and attract. If we travel around the ground, then we pick up new pockets of people. “
Lewis: Wales will progress under Lynn
The Red Wales Bethan Lewis believes I can “succeed” under the guidance of new chief coach Sean Lynn.
Lynn, a proud Welshman, was appointed a role in January, but on Monday he only took full-time, from leading Gloucester-Hartpury to the third title at the height of PWR in a row.
Lewis, 26, knows that Lynn was well part of that success of Gloucester-Hartpury, along with numerous friends from the Welsh team, including skipper Hannah Jones.
“It was an amazing day,” she said this week, thinking of PWR’s final victory over Saracens at Stonex Stadium.
“It’s hard to bring out words. The girls at the club wanted to give Sean good to send a good time and what he brought to Gloucester-Hartpury in recent years was that real family feeling and those special relationships between the team, and I suppose he would look for him in Wales.
“We really played for each other under him in Gloucester and we will do the same for him now that he is the head coach Wales and I am excited to see what we can do during six with him.
“He lives on these values of family and connection. I think it will be natural to do so here with Wales. I think we will succeed under Sean’s guidance and we are all ready to go.
“This is a huge year for a rugby ragba rugby with a rugby world cup that appears later in the year, but as players we can’t look too far away. I just love my rugby in a minute with the club and the state and I want it to continue.
“I give up every opportunity that comes to me as a player and there is something very special in six nations.”
Ireland expects to challenge France in Belfast
Women from Ireland are taking over France on the Open weekend at Kingspan Stadium in Belfast, and the defense coach Hugh Hogan has increased by impressive results from the previous WXV1 tournament, where Ireland ended up in second place, it is significantly surrounded by the French heel.
Ireland, who fought in recent years, last October, beat the world champions in New Zealand and the USA in Canada, and in this championship there was a lot of hope and motivation.
“They are a strong team and if you look at the history of this competition, France and England have been holders of the standard for some time and I am certainly under illusions that it will be a simple game,” Hogan told Media this week.
“I know that they were definitely disappointed with the results they had in the fall, and they, according to their own words, have a hard time examining. So, expect some jump in their step when they come to Belfast.
“There is confidence in the group and this is a real benefit to get into the game. We worked hard to build a game model before Vancouver, who gave us the opportunity to cause top teams in the world. We had little success with that.
“We had a time period throughout the winter to build layers on our game and all the time with that, and then comes an additional layer of confidence.
“It will still be a strong physical challenge. France can play through you, they can try to play around you. And they are smart players, so a relatively complete team, but I think we can definitely make an appearance in the sense of how we want to play and represent our country as an Irish team and confidently.
“Our expectation is to challenge France. As a high quality test match, it comes down to moments. We want to be ambitious in the way we play the game.
“What we expect on weekends is a strong challenge from France, but we will come out in a strong Irish performance.”
