“New Zealand have more pressure on them to win the upcoming Rugby World Cup than us because they are on for the three-peat,” the England head coach, John Mitchell, said as his focus turns from celebrating Six Nations success to the looming global tournament.
The Black Ferns have won the past two Rugby World Cups, beating England in the 2017 and 2022 finals. But they have done a four-peat in the competition as they won the trophy from 1998-2010.
