Following their 2014 Rugby World Cup win, the Red Roses recorded their worst-ever result in the Six Nations. This is the tale of how the World discovered the Red Roses were not perennials.I blooming love the Women's Six Nations, and this is the second of three posts I hope to do this season.

A written version of this post is also available on my website https://therugbyhistoryproject.com/, which is where you can find all my references and footnotes.
