Women's Six Nations 2023: England reflect on Twickenham 'pinch-yourself moment'
Before England had even won the Women's Six Nations Grand Slam with victory against France on Saturday, there was something special in the Twickenham air.
In total, 58,498 turned up to set a new record for a women's game, surpassing the attendance of 42,579 for the 2022 World Cup final - a match England lost to hosts New Zealand at Eden Park. Fans packed the streets as they streamed from the station to the stadium in the sunshine - a sight never before seen in Twickenham for a women's game.
That the Red Roses have claimed a fifth Six Nations title in a row is of course significant, especially so after they were on the wrong side of the scoreline in the World Cup final less than six months ago.The RFU's aim of selling out Twickenham for the 2025 World Cup final looks more than realistic given the hordes that turned out."I believe we can do it and I believe we can do it before 2025 and that World Cup final."The England captain was realistic, though.
"Let's get us in stadiums where we're going to be near enough sold out every time. Yes it would be great to play at Twickenham every time and that will come in time but we need to keep building the fan-base.
