Pregnant 'super mums' of England's Red Roses Make History at Six Nations Training Camp

The Red Roses, who recently won their first Women's Rugby World Cup in 11 years on home soil, are now setting an example off the pitch by supporting their pregnant teammates. England will kick off their Women's Six Nations campaign against Ireland at Twickenham without captain Zoe Stratford, who is expecting a child along with teammates Abbie Ward and Lark Atkin-Davies. Despite their pregnancies, all three players are taking part in non-contact drills and training at the team's pre-tournament camp. This move is being seen as a significant step forward for women's rugby, with England openside flanker Sadia Kabeya stating that it's a great example for fans of all ages and genders. "You can be a super mum and also play for England at the highest level," Kabeya said. Centre Megan Jones, who will captain the team in Stratford's absence, believes that her teammates' pregnancies will have long-term benefits for the team. "It changes the perspective on women. We don't just get pregnant and then that's the end of us. We still have dreams too," Jones said. The Red Roses are making history off the pitch, but they face five tough tests in the Women's Six Nations before they can continue to make history on the pitch.
