Summary

Six England players have been recognized in World Rugby's women's team of the year, showcasing the strength of the Red Roses. The standout selections include:

  • Hannah Botterman (prop)
  • Amy Cokayne (hooker)
  • Maddie Feaunati (flanker)
  • Zoe Harrison (fly-half)
  • Megan Jones (centre)
  • Jess Breach (wing)

This impressive representation highlights England's dominance, as they have more players in the team than any other nation. Alongside the English stars, the team features five players from New Zealand and three from Canada, while France's Lea Champon rounds out the lineup.

In addition to the team selections, Pauline Bourdon Sansus from France earned the try of the year award, recognized through a global fan vote for her remarkable effort against England during the Six Nations title decider in May.

The Red Roses have enjoyed a successful year, extending their winning streak to 39 matches before a 26-26 draw with Canada in September. They recently secured a victory against New Zealand at Twickenham's Allianz Stadium, but faced challenges with back-to-back defeats against Canada before a commanding win over the USA in New Jersey.

Looking ahead, the Red Roses prepare for their opening match in the 2027 Women's Six Nations, aiming for their ninth consecutive title, starting against Wales on Saturday, April 10.
