As the Women's Six Nations tournament progresses, England's Red Roses have demonstrated their ability to adapt to changes, with a number of players missing due to injuries and pregnancies. Despite this, the team has continued to dominate, with a record 84-7 victory over Scotland in their last match. The team's strength in depth has been a key factor in their success, with a number of younger players stepping up to fill the gaps. Prop Sarah Bern, a World Cup winner with 81 caps, and back-row Demelza Short, who made her Test debut last weekend, spoke to the media about the team's approach.
According to Bern, the team's mindset is focused on continuous improvement, with a emphasis on developing their game and pushing the boundaries of what they can achieve. The team's motto, 'rugby doesn't care what you did last week,' reflects their focus on the present and their desire to keep striving for excellence. Short, who has risen through the ranks from playing for England's U18 side just 12 months ago, spoke about the surreal experience of playing alongside World Cup winners and the challenges of adapting to the pace of the game. The Red Roses' next match is against Wales at Ashton Gate in Bristol, and the team will be looking to continue their winning streak and demonstrate their strength and depth.
