England's Women's Six Nations squad features seven uncapped players as head coach John Mitchell rebuilds after the Rugby World Cup win. Millie David, the Premiership Women's Rugby top try-scorer, and Mia Venner are among those awaiting their first caps. Haineala Lutui, daughter of a former Tonga hooker, is rewarded for her fine form leading the PWR in carries. Sarah Parry, the Welsh-born centre, completes the uncapped septet. Mitchell promoted Demelza Short and Christiana Balogun to fill gaps left by injured players like Zoe Stratford and Abbie Ward. The squad aims to defend their title starting against Ireland on April 11th.
