England celebrate Six Nations Grand Slam with victory in France

England claimed their sixth successive Women’s Six Nations title and completed a hat-trick of Grand Slams after toppling France 42-21 in Bordeaux.

The Red Roses led from the moment prop Maud Muir charged over in the fourth minute and they went on to score six tries, with number eight Alex Matthews crossing twice in front of a 28,000 full house.

France touched down three times, but they suffered the setback of losing Assia Khalfaoui to a yellow card for a dangerous clear-out of Morwenna Talling, with the offence upgraded to red on review.

WHAT A FEELING

The Red Roses are Grand Slam champions for a third-consecutive year ❤️#RedRoses | #GuinnessW6N
