England Names Squad for Women's Six Nations Opener Against Ireland

England's women's rugby team, led by Meg Jones, is set to kick off their Guinness Six Nations title defense against Ireland at Allianz Stadium. The team features seven players from the World Cup final victory over Canada in September. Jones takes over as captain, replacing Zoe Stratford, who is expecting her first child. The match marks England's first game as World Champions, and they are eager to perform in front of a record crowd of over 75,000 fans. The team is looking to win their eighth consecutive Six Nations title, with France seen as their closest challengers. The England squad includes Ellie Kildunne, Jess Breach, and Amy Cokayne, while Ireland's team is led by captain Erin King, with Cliodhna Moloney-MacDonald set to reach 50 Test caps.
