Rugby Union: England need ‘extraordinary’ leader Zoe Aldcroft, says John Mitchell
“I’m absolutely honored and privileged to be able to lead this fantastic team to where we want to be,” said Aldercroft, who will field Parker and Megan Jones as vice-captains.
“An important part of being captain is leading by example. When I speak, I mean it and I like to think about what I say.
“But it’s also about bringing up everyone else around me and making sure that everyone can be themselves and thrive in what they do.”
The Red Roses hope to win a fourth consecutive Women’s Six Nations Grand Slam in March and April before hosting the Women’s Rugby World Cup in August and September.
