    England defender and two-time Euros winner Lucy Bronze, who was at Twickenham for the final: “It was unbelievable. I rarely get to be a fan but to be a fan yesterday, the atmosphere was incredible. Great support.

    “It was easier watching [than playing]. It was easier watching when they did so well in the first half – we could all relax as fans.”

    On what England’s win will mean for women’s rugby: “This tournament’s set the standard. Success always breeds change. The girls have a great platform to push for better facilities for girls and rugby. Collectively, women’s athletes in England, it’s something we want for all little girls – to have a place they can go and play that sport they love. The success from yesterday, they can make that change.”

    On England’s celebrations: “It looked like they had a good party. It brings back some nice memories as a Lionesses player. They enjoyed themselves and rightly so.”

    On today’s trophy lift: “It’s something that helps connect with them all individually, to speak to them. Today is a nice moment to celebrate with the fans and for the players to take it in properly. They don’t have to be focused on playing, just on enjoying the moment and feeling the atmosphere.”

    England's World Cup-winning head coach John Mitchell has been named World Rugby's coach of the year.

    The Red Roses beat Canada 33-13 at Twickenham on Saturday to win the tournament for the first time since 2014.

    England, who lost back-to-back finals to New Zealand in 2017 and 2022, have won a record 33 successive games, with Mitchell yet to lose since taking the role after the men's 2023 World Cup.

    Mitchell's side won a fourth consecutive Women's Six Nations Grand Slam and seventh straight title in April.

    "There are a lot of swings and roundabouts in this trade," Mitchell said.

    "But it is not just me as I couldn't win this award without my other coaches and staff."
