Today at 06:53 AM

Charlotte Fray (Leicester Tigers), Jade Shekells (Gloucester-Hartpury), Sarah Parry (Harlequins) and Millie David (Bristol Bears) receive their first call-ups to the senior women's side. Players involved in the Premiership Women's Rugby final will not be available for Camp 3 and, if selected, will join up again with the Red Roses to prepare for the opening round against Italy.
Mitchell said: "The objective of this camp is to become organised and get better as a Red Rose ahead of the Six Nations, bearing in mind we will be without the PWR finalists next week.
"We are expecting an excited energy in reconnecting again and focusing on the opportunity that this special tournament presents for us."
Meanwhile, coach Nathan Catt will lead on defence as maternity cover for Sarah Hunter. Catt, who was instrumental in the England Under-20 men having a dominant scrum at their World Rugby U20 Championship win last summer and is the current men's Under-20 scrum and defence coach, toured with the Red Roses as scrum coach as they secured back-to-back WXV titles.
Louis Deacon and Lou Meadows continue their roles as forwards coach and attack coach respectively.
Mitchell added: "Our coaching group remains stronger than ever with the inclusion of Nathan who has been an exceptional addition from the pathway.
"Sarah is an extremely valued member of the Red Roses. Her focus is on being a mum and we're looking forward to seeing her soon."
The official Red Roses Guinness Women's Six Nations squad will be named on Monday 17th March.
