RFUW launch England's Six Nations campaign
RFUW have published full details of England's programme for this season's Six Nations, and their attempt to win an unprecedented fourth consecutive Grand Slam.
One surprise is that after two years at Old Albanians, a single season at London Irish, and a short stay at Esher for the Nations Cup, England will now be moving again - a few miles across London to play their three home games at London Welsh's ground at the Old Deer Park in Richmond. All home games will be preceded by England 'A' matches but with France now ranked only fourth in Europe, the biggest barriers to English ambitions are likely to be the away games against Wales and Ireland. The main challenge England will face, however, will be that Sevens World Cup takes place halfway through the Six Nations.
