Despite facing significant changes due to injuries and pregnancies, England's Red Roses have demonstrated remarkable resilience in the Women's Six Nations. With several key players absent, including World Cup-winning captain Zoe Stratford, the team has seamlessly integrated new players, exemplifying their impressive depth.
Following a record 84-7 victory over Scotland, the Red Roses are poised to face Wales, with experienced players like Sarah Bern and newcomers like Demelza Short embodying the team's fearless and ambitious spirit. Bern emphasized the team's focus on continuous improvement, stating that 'rugby doesn't care what you did last week,' and that the team's goal is to 'push those barriers' and 'showcase' their exciting brand of rugby to the world. For Short, her rapid rise from England's U18 side to a fully-fledged Red Rose has been a 'whirlwind' experience, and she is eager to continue learning and growing alongside her teammates.
