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.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old full-back scored nine tries to finish as the tournament’s top try-scorer, with compatriot Abby Dow second on five.<\/p>\n
Kildunne was also the leading points-scorer, had the most carries, most metres gained and most line-breaks after being given license by new head coach John Mitchell to utilise her devastating acceleration from deep.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
She formed part of a dominant England back three alongside Dow and Jess Breach.<\/p>\n
Kildunne’s next challenge could be competing for Olympic gold as she confirmed she will be joining Team GB’s Sevens set-up<\/a> after the Six Nations.<\/p>\n Other notable performers: <\/b>Hannah Botterman, Sadiya Kabeya, Alex Matthews, Natasha Hunt, Holly Aitchison, Dow, Breach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
