England men’s captain Jamie George joined the women’s team in a training session to help their hookers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Red Roses head coach John Mitchell was the England men’s defence coach from 2018 to 2021, with George his starting hooker.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“When I got this role, Jamie said, ‘If you ever need any help with the girls then hit me up’,” Mitchell said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Jamie was the one that actually encouraged it for this situation and we made it work.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Bristol Bears hooker Lark Atkin-Davies started England’s opening Women’s Six Nations <\/span>victory over Italy<\/span><\/a> and has retained her spot in the starting XV to face Wales in Bristol on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harlequins’ Connie Powell has been Atkin-Davies’ deputy, with regular starting hooker Amy Cokayne back in training this week after injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitchell hopes this is the start of specialist senior men’s players helping out the women’s team after the benefit his hookers gained from the session.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We can have good cross-pollination between the specialist players,” Mitchell said. “It is not something we will try and do in abundance, but the nines would also benefit from some kicking connections as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It is a starting point which is fantastic.”<\/span><\/p>\n

George, who helped England to a third-place finish in the men’s Six Nations, has previously worked with Saracens hooker May Campbell at club level.<\/span><\/p>\n

Red Roses captain Marlie Packer wants such links to continue at international and club level, but only when the time is right.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We don’t want to force it as they obviously have their own programmes the same as us and timing needs to be right for both,” Packer said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“You don’t want someone being there that doesn’t want to be there.”<\/span><\/p>\n
