Today at 06:23 AM
Red Roses head coach John Mitchell has named a 38-player training squad for the Red Roses' first camp of 2025. The squad assembled on Monday, as England begin their preparations for a 2025 campaign which includes a Guinness Women's Six Nations and home Rugby World Cup.
Zoe Aldcroft has been named as the new Red Roses captain, as the Gloucester-Hartpury lock takes over the lead from Marlie Packer. The Saracens back row remains firmly within Mitchell’s plans, and amongst the leadership group for the Red Roses.
