The 2024 Women's Six Nations had it all, but which players impressed for their nations?Ellie Kildunne was largely starved of any meaningful possession in England's win over France in their final game, but she was hugely influential in their previous four victories.
As opponents tried to clear by kicking long, Kildunne was able to quickly turn defence into attack and pick off tiring defenders, as she did for her hat-trick score against Ireland.Assia Khalfaoui - FranceThe prop, 23, was sent off after her yellow card for a high shot on Morwenna Talling was upgraded to a red by the TMO bunker, but the game was already out of sight by that point.
The 21-year-old provided Ireland, who finished third to qualify for the 2025 World Cup, with impetus over the gain line and front-foot ball for the backs. If the number eight arrived at the breakdown first, she was almost impossible to move as she claimed a tournament-high six steals. The diminutive wing, 22, has the speed to carve open defences close to the whitewash and at the breakdown.
