Maggie Alphonsi 2014 England World Cup winner on BBC Two
I wouldn't talk in the last few minutes before a game, I was just thinking about making a big tackle or a big . You get the chance to win the mental battle in the tunnel.

have made two changes in their back row as open-side flanker Lea Champon comes in for a first start this championship and Charlotte Escudero returns at blind-side flanker.
The established half-back duo of Pauline Bourdon Sansus and Carla Arbez again start, while Kelly Arbey returns on the wing, with Joanna Grisez retaining her spot on the opposite side after scoring in the comeback victory over Italy in Parma last Saturday.
There is also a potential debut for 20-year-old Taina Maka, who is comfortable in the second row and at flanker.
This is the fourth successive time both sides play each in the final game with a Grand Slam on the line.

England hold a significant advantage in recent meetings, having won the last six Championship clashes between these two sides. One more victory would equal their longest-ever winning run against them in the tournament (seven from 2006–2012).

Red Roses full-back Emma Sing was not expecting a phone call from head coach John Mitchell while in a crochet class - a favourite activity in England's camp.
The 24-year-old back has not played since the opening-round win over Italy, but was at peace being below world player of the year Ellie Kildunne in the pecking order.
But when she checked her phone to see a missed call from Mitchell, her mind quickly moved from crochet hooks to back three calls.
Sing got in touch with Mitchell to find out Kildunne had a minor hamstring injury, so she would be starting the Grand Slam decider.

Following the team announcement, Mitchell described Sing as "world class" and said Saturday's match was an ideal chance to give Kildunne's deputy a proper workout before the Rugby World Cup.
When asked if will target Sing in the air on BBC's Rugby Union Weekly, Mitchell was quick to respond: "Good luck if they do.
"Emma is a very hard tackle and outstanding in the air and doesn't need to be an Ellie Kildunne, she is Emma Sing who runs hard and straight and is elusive.

England have won each of their last 33 Championship games, the longest streak by any side in either the men’s or women’s tournaments. A win would seal a seventh straight title, equalling the all-time record (England – seven from 2006–2012).

Alastair Telfer BBC Sport at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham
Two hours before kick-off and the crowds were already growing fast, with many opting to come early and watch Scotland against Ireland on the big screens.
In 2023, England sealed a Six Nations Grand Slam against in front of a record women's crowd of 58,498 at Twickenham.
England then defeated Ireland 88-10 in front of 48,778 at Twickenham last year.
How many will pack into Allianz Stadium? Given the warm and sunny weather, I reckon it'll be very busy. Oh and there is a home Rugby World Cup that starts in August.
Some early buzz! And the age range goes right from kids to grandparents.
One. More. Pushpublished at 16:00 British Summer Time 26 April

England last lost a game in the women's Six Nations way back in 2018. Toys R Us was still open, Theresa May was in Number 10 and Harry and Meghan were finalising wedding plans when beat them 18-17 in Grenoble.
Since then - nothing but success for the Red Roses. And a win today, at Twickenham, will seal a seventh straight title.
