Mitchell’s role as England head coach safe regardless of World Cup result

JOHN MITCHELL will remain England head coach until June next year regardless of how the Red Roses perform at the World Cup, according to the Rugby Football Union.
England are favourites to win the tournament they are hosting in August and September having clinched a seventh successive Women’s Six Nations title and amassed 55 wins in 56 Tests.
Their only blemish is a 34-31 loss in the 2022 World Cup final to New Zealand, who have beaten the Red Roses in five of the last six finals.
