Ellie Kildunne and Jess Breach scored twice each as England’s Red Roses delivered a Six Nations Grand Slam against France in Bordeaux
England’s Red Roses secured a record-extending eighth Women’s Six Nations title in a row, performing brilliantly to beat France 43-28 in Sunday’s Grand Slam decider in Bordeaux.
France enjoyed the better of the play in the first half, hitting the front through scrum-half Pauline Bourdon Sansus, but England rattled back to improbably score four tries before half-time through prop Sarah Bern, full-back Ellie Kildunne (two) and wing Jess Breach.
The hosts responded through further tries via wing Anais Grando and Bourdon Sansus to narrow the score to 29-21, only for the Red Roses to strike again when they needed to most through Breach again.
England fly-half Zoe Harrison also kicked magnificently well off the tee, adding four conversions and a penalty – two from the touchline.
Any further French response was then quelled when replacement scrum-half Alexandra Chambon was sin-binned for a high tackle, with England scoring once more through hooker Amy Cokayne and left to celebrate an astonishing 38th Test victory in succession.
