The England Women head coach, Simon Middleton, will step down after this year’s Women’s Six Nations
“There have been great memories built around success and great memories built around defeat,” said Middleton. “Do I regret not signing off winning the World Cup as a head coach? Yes for sure, but I know we can all live with that because we could not have worked harder or given more; sometimes that’s just not quite enough and it wasn’t on the day.
