England thumps France to seal an eighth straight Women's Six Nations title and Grand Slam
England has won a record eighth consecutive Women’s Six Nations title and fifth successive Grand Slam after beating host France 43-28 in Bordeaux.
England cruised to a six-try victory with braces from outside backs Ellie Kildunne and Jess Breach.
Kildunne was named the player of the match.
Hooker Amy Cokayne also touched down to score in all five matches.
Zoe Harrison landed six of seven goalkicks and 29 of 31 in the tournament.
France scrumhalf Pauline Bourdon Sansus scored twice to rally the home side to trail 29-21 with a quarter left.
But England remained too composed even with only six survivors from its Rugby World Cup champion team last September.
The English extended their world record winning streak to 38 matches since 2022.
