Much of Britain has been carpeted in white this week, pristine and unblemished. The top of the women’s Six Nations table is similar: there is still one white-shirted team with a perfect record and a grand slam in their sights. Should England emerge from their igloos to beat France and Ireland in the next fortnight while their male counterparts falter, it may just bring the increased public recognition that, in several cases, is overdue.
Take Danielle – known to all as Nolli – Waterman. Last week’s game against Scotland in Glasgow was her 80th cap for her country; along the way she has been a World Cup winner and competed at the 2016 Olympic Games. At 33 she looks sharper than ever: every member of Eddie Jones’s backline would kill for her sidestepping ability. Her stunning individual try for Wasps against Bristol last month would grace the flashiest of show reels.
In company with other inspirational totems such as Rochelle Clark, Katy Daley-Mclean, Tamara Taylor and Sarah Hunter, she has elevated the standards of the women’s game to levels barely imaginable when she won her first cap aged 18 – the youngest English female international on record – against Ireland in Limerick in 2003. Since then she has featured in four World Cups and scored 46 Test tries.
