Red Roses Head Coach John Mitchell has named a 34-player squad for a three-day training camp, as preparations continue ahead of the 2024 Women’s Six Nations. The group will assemble today at St George’s Park, and utilise the state of the art facilities that also act as the home of the England national football team.
Mitchell has named 18 forwards, 16 backs and an additional five players that are continuing their injury recovery. The rehabilitation list includes numerous high profile Red Roses, as the likes of locks Zoe Aldcroft and Rosie Galligan make their way back to fitness. The injury list extends with centre Tatyana Heard, back-row Alex Matthews and scrum half Ella Wyrwas.
An official Guinness Women’s Six Nations squad will be announced at Twickenham Stadium on Monday 11 March, ahead of England’s first match on Sunday 24th. England’s campaign begins with an away trip to Italy, as they get set to take on the Azzurri in the Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi, the home of United Rugby Championship club Zebre Parma.
