Shaun Edwards joins Red Roses, inspired by late mother's legacy

Shaun Edwards has joined England's women's rugby team, the Red Roses, for their autumn campaign after a six-and-a-half-year spell coaching France. His decision was influenced by his late mother, Phyllis, who always encouraged him to pursue knowledge in rugby. Edwards, who has coached teams to multiple Six Nations titles, brings extensive experience to the squad as they prepare for upcoming matches, including a highly anticipated clash against New Zealand. The Red Roses recently faced Canada, resulting in a 26-26 draw, snapping a 39-match winning streak.
