The Red Roses have won the last seven Women’s Six Nations trophies and are on an impressive unbeaten streak
England will embark on a Women’s Six Nations campaign when the competition begins on 11 April where they will look to continue their unbeaten run in the competition.
The Red Roses have won the last seven titles, winning every game along the way. They are not consecutive Grand Slam trophies though as the 2021 competition was shortened because of the pandemic.
England are on a 34 consecutive match winning run in the competition. The last time they lost was in the 2018 edition when they played France away. They lost 18-17 in a tight and competitive match.
The Red Roses have not only been dominant in the Six Nations. The team’s last defeat came in the 2022 Rugby World Cup at the hands of New Zealand.
England Women’s Six Nations: ‘We’re no different to most explorers in the world’

The team also won the World Cup last September and some may think England would lose motivation from winning all of the time. However, the head coach John Mitchell has said this World Cup cycle will be another mountain to climb.
“We’re no different to most explorers in the world,” Mitchell said after the Red Roses’ World Cup win. “They always find another peak to climb and I think we will.
“These girls are driven. They’ve changed my life and the way I think. A trophy is one thing, a medal is another, but the value and the quality of the people you work with is the ultimate.”
England’s tournament will kick-off at Allianz Stadium against Ireland. They will be playing in front of a Women’s Six Nations record crowd with the team selling over 60,000 tickets.
It will be their first time back after lifting the World Cup at the home of English rugby last year.
