Red Roses team to play France in 2025 Women's Six Nations Grand Slam decider
Red Roses head coach John Mitchell has made nine changes to his starting side to face France at Allianz Stadium on Saturday in the final round of the 2025 Guinness Women's Six Nations.
Hannah Botterman and Maud Muir return to the front row, with Morwenna Talling installed behind them at second row. Alex Matthews is restored at No.8, Maddie Feaunati shifts to the openside flank, and captain Zoe Aldcroft continues on the blindside.
The half-back pairing rotates to Natasha Hunt and Zoe Harrison, as Tatyana Heard returns to the midfield. With Ellie Kildunne ruled out due to a hamstring injury Emma Sing is named at full back.
The bench is stacked with nearly 300 Test caps worth of experience, and sees returns in the form of Abi Burton - who scored two tries on her debut against Wales - and Amy Cokayne, after a pectoral injury kept her out of last week's match against Scotland.
