France plot England’s downfall but Marlie Packer and co defiant in final crunch

England's Red Roses face France on Sunday in the Women's Six Nations final, where they are chasing an eighth consecutive title. France, who have been runners-up to England for the past six years, are seeking a Grand Slam on home soil, with last year's decider decided by just one point. England enter the match depleted by retirements, pregnancy, and injuries — missing captain Zoe Stratford, Abbie Ward, and Alex Matthews — while also looking to extend their 37-game winning run.
