When I was younger, going to a Rugby World Cup was not something I envisioned in my future.

When I was younger, going to a Rugby World Cup was not something I envisioned in my future.

England claimed a Women's Six Nations Grand Slam and fourth straight title against France on Saturday, but I could not be there.

I have been playing for England for five years and even during that period I can remember a time when people did not even know there was a Women's Six Nations.

I came to rugby relatively late, but I can remember the moment I set my sights on playing for England and since then the World Cup has always been a goal too.

The autumn campaign could not really have gone any better for England…

There are 28 Red Roses players on full-time contracts and the amount of time we get to spend together and the detail we get to put into our performances showed on the pitch.

If you have never watched women's rugby before, now is the time to tune in.

We were not happy with our start against Italy on Saturday, but I am not worried about how we will play in the Women's Six Nations final.

England beat Scotland 52-10 in our Women's Six Nations opener on Saturday, but now we have to look at ourselves honestly after we let chances go to waste in that game.

It feels like interest in the Women's Six Nations is growing this year because we are playing at a different time than the men.

I do not know if I could handle every game being as close as Saturday's win against France was, but it was an amazing spectacle to grow the sport.
