Shaun Edwards: Red Roses bring in famed defence coach for WXV Global Series
On the appointment of Edwards, England head coach John Mitchell said: “Since his time with France ended, we have had a conversation about our game, and he expressed an interest in working in an international women’s set-up for the first time.
“He has a huge amount of respect for the Red Roses and what we stand for; he sees it as a privilege to join our environment.
“His coaching credentials are exceptional and his experience at the highest level of the game speaks for itself.
“Defensively, Sarah Hunter is relishing the opportunity to learn from him, alongside the rest of our coaching group, as we head into another exciting Test match against New Zealand.”
Last week, Edwards expressed his desire to return to coaching and be a part of next year’s men’s Six Nations.
“I’m definitely open to offers now, until I sort out a full-time role,” he told the Daily Mail., external
“I’m a proud Englishman and everybody loves to represent their country, don’t they? I’m no different.”

The fight had initially been discussed for November but, with negotiations over the venue dragging on, it now looks set for December.
Staging an open-air stadium fight in the UK at that time carries immense risk.
While Wembley offers unmatched prestige, exposing tens of thousands of fans and a massive international broadcast operation to potentially freezing temperatures, wind and rain was deemed unacceptable.
Moving the event indoors to an arena like London’s O2 would eliminate weather risks, but at the cost of sacrificing tens of thousands of ticket sales.
The Principality Stadium’s retractable roof allows organisers to capture the immense scale, atmosphere and gate revenue of a stadium show while offering full protection from the elements.
The venue’s official seated capacity is just under 74,000, but boxing configurations allow for even larger crowds.
Joshua has already proven he can sell out the venue, having defended his WBA and IBF titles there against Carlos Takam in front of nearly 80,000 fans in 2017 before adding the WBO belt against Joseph Parker five months later.

The run defense has been a mess. They’ve allowed far too many explosives. The Lions need their stars to play like stars.

The ability to make the playoffs once again is there this season, but a step back toward reality feels more probable.
