Women: England 6N champions
Mon, 15 Mar 2010 23:43
In the Women's Six Nations England are in a unassailable position at the top of the log after thrashing Scotland 51-0. The French match will be their hardest yet but it would take a Lazarus-class miracle for France to win the championship.
England may well find the improving French side their hardest opposition, but they would like to compete yet another Grand Slam.
