Where do the Red Roses play in the PWR?

While the Red Roses’ exploits in an England shirt may be over this summer after they lifted the World Cup on home soil, you will still be able to catch them in action in the Premiership Women’s Rugby.

The world champions will return to clubs across the country to compete against each other for domestic silverware as they continue to make women’s rugby history.

But where will they each be playing?

Gloucester-Hartpury

The reigning PWR champions have the most Red Roses among their ranks, including skipper Zoe Aldcroft.

The side also benefit from the experience of double World Cup winners Alex Matthews and Natasha ‘Mo’ Hunt, who were also part of the winning 2014 squad.

Starting finalists Maud Muir and Tatyana Heard also line-up among the Gloucester-Hartpury ranks, while prop Mackenzie Carson, centre Jade Shekells and full-back Emma Sing can also both be found playing for The Circus.

Saracens

Fellow 2024-25 finalists Saracens boast six World Cup winners among their ranks.

They lay claim to two of the starters in England’s 33-13 final victory over Canada with Jess Breach and Zoe Harrison regularly in action in north London.

Lock Rosie Galligan, who entered the fray as a 70th-minute substitute, and prop Kelsey Clifford, who saw action in the final, are also members of the Wolf Pack who will no doubt be hoping to go one better and lift silverware this season.

Former England captain Marlie Packer has represented Saracens since 2017 and May Campbell also don the moon and crescent crest.

Home of Heroes 💪

It was an absolutely incredible Rugby World Cup, with PWR stars from all over the world on display 🙌

Bristol Bears

Bristol Bears have four Red Roses in Bear County and all of them featured at the Allianz Stadium in the World Cup final.

Prop Hannah Botterman and lock Abbie Ward were both named in John Mitchell’s starting XV to face Canada as the Bears form a vital contingent for England.

Botterman’s fellow props Sarah Bern and Lark Atkin-Davies entered the action in the 61st-minute for England, demonstrating the strength of Bears’ forwards.

Loughborough Lightning

Loughborough Lightning sit equal with Bears in having four England players in African Violet, with Player of the Match in the final, Sadia Kabeya returning to the East Midlands as a national hero.

Fly-half Helena Rowland shone at Lightning’s home ground of cinch Stadium @ Franklin’s Gardens during England’s 92-3 win over Samoa as she became England’s record points scorer during a World Cup game.

Lilli Ives-Campion and Emily Scarratt, who has now played in five World Cups, also both represent Lightning in the PWR.

Sale Sharks

All three of Sale Sharks’ Red Roses featured in the World Cup final as Amy Cokayne touched down England’s second try of the match.

Morwenna Talling started the match at lock, while Holly Aitchison replaced Tatyana Heard at inside-centre as England saw out their historic victory.

Harlequins

While Harlequins may only have two Red Roses in their squad, players do not get much more dazzling than Ellie Kildunne.

The fullback delivered England’s first try of the final to restore parity in scintillating fashion, before the conversion put them ahead for the first time.

Quins fans are privy to her brilliance every weekend alongside scrum-half Lucy Packer who dictates the game at The Stoop.

"We are winners, so right now I'd imagine we'll want to do it again"

England captain Zoe Aldcroft is happy celebrating the World Cup win before attentions turn to what is next.#PWR | #RWC2025

Trailfinders Women

World Player of the Year nominee Meg Jones recently completed the switch from the East Midlands to London where she now represents Trailfinders Women.

Having started every match at the World Cup, she will no doubt be crucial as Trailfinders launch their bid to reach the play-offs.

No less important will be new teammate Abi Burton, who joined the club in 2024. 

Exeter Chiefs

Exeter Chiefs also have two Red Roses in their ranks with Maddie Feaunati and Claudia Moloney-MacDonald both lining up for the Devon side.

Feaunati came off the bench in the final, while Moloney-MacDonald inclusion in the England squad marked an impressive comeback from an injury that could have ended her career.
