England Women's Rugby Team Reinforces Squad for Six Nations Grand Slam Decider Against France

England has strengthened its forward pack for the crucial Women’s Six Nations Grand Slam decider against France by recalling World Cup winners Lilli Ives Campion, Maddie Feaunati, and Sadia Kabeya. The trio had previously missed the victory over Italy due to injury. Despite facing significant player shortages that forced reliance on reserves, England aims to maintain their 37-Test winning streak and secure a record-extending fifth consecutive tournament clean sweep. The team is now closer to full strength, with Ellie Kildunne returning to full-back and Zoe Harrison retaining her fly-half position. Delaney Burns partners Ives Campion in the second row, while Kabeya joins the back row. England holds a dominant historical record against France, having won their last 17 meetings, although last year’s encounter was a narrow 43-42 victory. The match is scheduled for Sunday at the Stade Atlantique in Bordeaux, where a record-breaking crowd of up to 42,000 spectators is expected to support the French team, who have shown significant improvement throughout the tournament.
