Sharks’ England hooker Amy Cokayne has been named as the vice-captain of the Red Roses for the upcoming Guinness Women’s Six Nations, which kicks off on Saturday 11th April.
The experienced 29-year-old, who joined Sharks Women from Leicester Tigers last summer, has won 89 caps since her debut in 2015. She started last year’s World Cup final at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, as England beat Canada to take the title.
Amy has played in eight previous Women’s Six Nations championships, winning seven titles and six Grand Slams.
The Red Roses will open their 2026 Six Nations campaign by hosting Ireland at Allianz Stadium on Saturday 11 April.
The Home of England Rugby has seen some magnificent women’s rugby over the past few years including an emphatic 88-10 win over Ireland in 2024 and a nail-biting 43-42 victory against France in this year’s tournament.
John Mitchell’s side – who have won four Grand Slams in a row – then travel to Scotland a week later, before taking on Wales in their second and final home match of the tournament on Saturday 25 April.
