The Red Roses of England Rugby will take another huge step forward whey play their first standalone fixture at Twickenham in next season’s Women’s Six Nations tournament.
England Women have played at Rugby HQ before but that was combined with a men’s game, and this fixture against France on April 29 will be a breakthrough moment.
Sarah Hunter says the prolonged pain of England’s 2017 World Cup final defeat is fuelling her quest for a revenge mission in New Zealand this autumn.
The North Shields-born star skippered the Red Roses when they were beaten by the Black Ferns in the final five years ago, having also been a part of the side that were crowned champions in France three years earlier.
