From First Up, 5:48 am on 7 October 2022

England are the world number one ranked Womens rugby side. The Red Roses, as they are known, have won the World Cup twice in 1994 and 2014, and have been runners-up on five other occasions. They dominated the Black Ferns on their end of year UK tour last year, and are arguably the favourites for this World Cup which starts tomorrow at Eden Park. One of their star players is Helena Rowland.
