As part of the deal, Crew Clothing will dress the Red Roses’ playing squad and non-playing staff for all formal events and appearances.

England will don their new outfits for the first time during next year’s Guinness Women’s Six Nations, with a press release suggesting the looks would fuse “contemporary silhouettes with the traditions and quality synonymous with Crew Clothing”.

The Red Roses join Exeter Chiefs, the LTA, Williams Racing and the Henley Royal Regatta in agreeing a partnership with the British lifestyle brand, which was founded in the back of a Devon windsurfing shop in 1993.

John Mitchell’s side are currently preparing for the defence of their WXV 1 title, which will begin in Canada later this month, and play the first of two warm-up tests, against France at Kingsholm on Saturday.

They will then take on New Zealand at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham on September 14th before travelling to Canada.

Having won the previous six Women’s Six Nations, and with a 7.58-point cushion at the top of the World Rugby Women’s Rankings, the Red Roses are heavy favourites to win Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 when it takes place on home soil next year.

Why NZR's Ineos settlement may be the most important victory they'll enjoy this year

It really all depends of how much overseas players would be paid (by NZR) to play for the All Blacks. I’ve not heard a peep on this front from any author suggesting it’s a good idea.


If it’s nothing (a player gets his weekly paycheck from the club and thats it (which we know is definitely not the case in Ireland and France, or SA even I think?), then maybe it would retain more SR level players given that they’ll be getting the “AB” component (which is about where things stand, Burke for instance would have had to had his Sader contract upgraded to an AB one (think above Pero levels) to be on similar money.


I’d having to imagine if a player is getting paid to do nothing over the international windows though, they are going to want to get paid extra for appear for the ABs, so in this situation, it’s hard to see many players being retained, yes.


I’m pretty sure they flew to Japan and met in person.


I’ve heard/had these discussions numerous times. I don’t think theres anyway to judge the interest that would be retain in SR. For one, it might be a more entertaining league as a result, as the JRLO is compared to Europe, despite it obviously being a lesser standard.


If SRP is of a lesser standard and now able to use Japanese and American players to bolster teams, perhaps those markets more than make up for the downturn in NZ and Aus? Perhaps it gives NZR flexibility to create a more fit for purpose interdomestic competition, and interest actually increases? All you might need is a proper pathway from school to pro?


Razor asked NZR to keep an open mind. Did NZR answer any of these questions to themself?
