He added: "Saucony design a range of running shoes specifically with women in mind and we see this link up with the RFUW as an important one. Rugby players are required to run around the park for 80 minutes during a game and we are pleased to be able to help England's elite players by providing them with good quality shoes that are individually selected for each player."

England Head Coach, Geoff Richards commented: "Running is obviously a key part of our game and having the right shoes should help us be well prepared for our big games. I think the players really benefited from having their technique analysed and being able to see themselves on screen before and after adjustments were made."

England are aiming to retain the Churchill Cup title won last year in extra time against Canada. However, with the number one world ranked New Zealand team entering the arena this year, England will have to be firing on all cylinders.
