Shaun Edwards joins England Women as consultant for WXV

Shaun Edwards has linked up with the England Women coaching team as a consultant. The RFU confirmed the arrangement, which runs until the end of the WXV Global Series. Edwards is best known for his work as a defence coach, most recently with France. He joins the Red Roses on a short-term basis, so his spell with the side ends when the tournament does. England are the current world champions.
