Inspiration is the
biggest problem for a team toward the inside a competition they have won seven
times in a row, six of them with a clean sweep. It will not be for England's
women, though, as they begin the latest defense of their Six Nations crown, because
17 of their squad have been without them for this year's event, including the
entire favorite back division. The England women's
rugby team should be recognized by now as a gravely inspirational outfit. Not
only are they on seven Six Nations titles, they are unbeaten in their past six
matches against New Zealand. They have a management group working on strategy;
and it is its finding that they should be aiming to win the two World Cups
women's rugby will be contesting over the next two years the Sevens World Cup
at the end of June in Moscow and the XVs next year in France.
They wanted to give the
player coaching staff the best opportunity to win the two World Cups,"
says Sarah Hunter, who will be captain for this Six Nations. It makes it a challenge
for us. Fair chunks of our squad have gone off to play, which is fantastic.
We're fully behind them. Where it leaves us is with a new crop of players
coming in, which is really good. A lot of them have a few caps but haven't
necessarily had an opportunity to establish them. Now they have it. And next
year, when it's our turn to have a shot at a World Cup they can say they want
to be a part of it. England are facing a
treacherous few weeks. As if winning the title seven times in a row is not enough
to wind up the opposition, being seen to remove some of their best players from
this year's competition may cause outright offence.
England going
into it with an inexperienced squad, they are likely to expose themselves to
some angry international rugby teams. As rugby players you want to be
challenged and work hard. If it's a nail-biter, you get more of a buzz from winning
those games and you learn more about yourselves as well. These are exciting
times for women's rugby. Inclusion in the Olympics may well prove more of a
boon for it than for the men's game. Certainly, it raises the stakes for this
year's Sevens World Cup, hence England's radical selection policy. 2013 Hong Kong Sevens started from 22 March 2013
