England’s women’s rugby team has drawn fresh drive and inspiration from the Lionesses’ triumph at this summer’s European Championship as they gear up to launch their Women’s Rugby World Cup campaign on home soil.
The Red Roses open the tournament this Friday against the USA, riding a wave of momentum from what has already been an exceptional season for women’s sport.
Firm favourites to capture their first world crown since 2014, England enter the competition brimming with confidence after an impressive 27-match winning streak, which includes tune-up victories over Spain and France and a seventh consecutive Six Nations title secured in April.
