England secured a record eighth straight Women's Six Nations (the annual northern-hemisphere international rugby union tournament) title on Sunday, defeating France 43–28 in a Grand Slam decider played in front of a French record competition crowd of 35,000. After falling behind to an early try, England scored four unanswered tries to lead 26–7 at half-time, withstood a second-half French fightback that closed the gap to eight points, and ultimately pulled clear through tries from Jess Breach and Amy Cokayne, with Zoe Harrison converting five. The victory extends England's world record winning streak to 38 consecutive matches — including 39 straight Six Nations wins dating to 2018 — and comes after the side won 99 of 103 games across the last decade, cementing their status as the dominant force in women's rugby.
