England 10-6 France: Red Roses win Women's Six Nations for third year in a row


Women's Six Nations Final: England v France England: (7) 10 Try: P Cleall; Con: Scarratt; Pen: Scarratt France: (0) 6 Pens: Drouin 2England won the Women's Six Nations for the third year in a row with a hard-fought final win against France. The Red Roses' defence held firm and they were rewarded with an Emily Scarratt penalty to seal the title. The Red Roses had two penalties in the first quarter and captain Emily Scarratt uncharacteristically missed both, with the second almost in front of the posts. Fly-half Caroline Drouin missed a chance at three points, suggesting the strong breeze was affecting both sides' kickers. Errors may have been the Red Roses' undoing in attack but they showed gritty determination in defence to hold back repeated French efforts.
