England beat a spirited France 38-33 to win their fifth straight women's Six Nations title with a Grand Slam in front of a record-breaking crowd at Twickenham on Sunday to give coach Simon Middleton a fitting farewell.
With 58,498 fans in the stadium, the fixture smashed the world record for attendance at a women's rugby game which was previously 42,579 at last year's World Cup final at Eden Park when New Zealand beat England.
Top-ranked side England struggled with nerves at first before pulling away from third-ranked France to go into the break with a commanding 33-0 lead. But England took their foot off the gas in the second half and France nearly turned things around with five second-half tries.
