ENGLAND head coach John Mitchell believes delivering a successful autumn will be harder than winning the Women’s Rugby World Cup (WXV).

The Red Roses host France and New Zealand at Kingsholm and Twickenham next month before heading to Canada for the WXV, where they will face the hosts, the United States and the Black Ferns.

It means England clash with their three biggest rivals for the 2025 World Cup in four of their next five fixtures.
