England's Rugby Triumph and World Cup Preparation
England won the Six Nations title but faced a scare from France. A boost for World Cup prep.

England's Red Roses secured their seventh consecutive Six Nations title with a narrow 43-42 win over France at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday. Coach John Mitchell saw the close call as ideal for the team's Rugby World Cup preparations later this year. Despite the win, Mitchell was disappointed with the defence. The team is the favourite for the World Cup on home soil but must learn to handle teams raising their game against them. Players like Sing performed well and the experience at Twickenham will be beneficial.
