The Red Roses scored six tries in Bordeaux to round off a dominant campaign.
England claimed their sixth successive Guinness Women’s Six Nations title and completed a hat-trick of Grand Slams after toppling France 42-21 in Bordeaux.
France touched down three times but they suffered the setback of losing Assia Khalfaoui to a yellow card for a dangerous clear-out of Morwenna Talling, with the offence upgraded to red on review.It meant they had to complete the last 37 minutes of the Stade Chaban-Delmas showdown with only 14 players, yet they still played their best rugby in a second half that finished 7-7.
As expected, France provided the toughest test of the Six Nations, forcing the Red Roses to grind it out at times having blazed their way through the competition until this point. “I’m super proud of the girls, not just for today but the seven or eight weeks leading up to it,” Packer told BBC One.
