England sealed the 2022 TikTok Women’s Six Nations crown, and another Grand Slam, with a 24-12 victory over France in a frenetic deciding match in Bayonne.
A first-half brace from prop Sarah Bern either side of an Abbie Ward try was enough for Simon Middleton’s team to secure a fourth consecutive Championship title.
It had almost been a nightmare start for the visitors as Romane Menager crashed over inside three minutes to whip up a frenzied crowd in South West France, but the Red Roses kept their composure to complete a first-half comeback and with it the Championship.
