In a thrilling conclusion to the 2024 Women’s Six Nations, England emerged victorious once again, securing their third consecutive Grand Slam. The team’s celebration was a testament to their hard work and dedication throughout the tournament.

One player who stood out for England was Ellie Kildunne, the 24-year-old full-back who showcased her exceptional skills on the field. Kildunne finished as the tournament’s top try-scorer with nine tries, displaying her speed and agility in every match. Under the guidance of head coach John Mitchell, Kildunne was given the freedom to utilize her acceleration and turn defense into attack with ease.

Alongside Kildunne, players like Abby Dow and Jess Breach formed a dominant back three for England, contributing to their success in the tournament. The team’s performance was a collective effort, with notable contributions from players like Hannah Botterman, Sadiya Kabeya, and Natasha Hunt.

Despite the loss to England in the final game, France had standout performers like Assia Khalfaoui, whose impressive display throughout the tournament caught the eye of many. Khalfaoui’s ability to test the opposition’s defense with her running and offloading skills was commendable, despite her red card in the final match.

As the tournament came to a close, players from all nations showcased their talent and determination on the field. From Ireland’s Aoife Wafer to Scotland’s Evie Gallagher, each player left a mark with their performances. The competition was fierce, but in the end, it was England who emerged victorious, celebrating their well-deserved Grand Slam victory.
