In her BBC Sport column, England prop Shaunagh Brown explains why their autumn schedule is must-watch and who is stepping up to fill the Red Roses’ leadership void.
If you have never watched women’s rugby before, now is the time to tune in.
On Sunday, England face New Zealand in the first of two back-to-back Tests before we go on to play Canada and the United States – and all of it will be live on BBC Two.
We are ranked number one in the world and the Black Ferns are ranked second so this is one you want to watch.
On top of that, New Zealand are the reigning world champions and will host the World Cup in 2022. This is the next level.
Even people who do not know anything about rugby know New Zealand are fantastic at it.
We want people to watch this huge physical battle. The technical and tactical game will be on show, but there will also be big hits, exciting runs and massive hand-offs.
People who are watching rugby for the first time may not understand everything, but what they will see is these huge tackles or someone sprinting the length of a pitch because they got an intercept.
Those are the things that will be on show this weekend and next.
The United States and Canada matches will be just as good. These are four incredibly hard Test matches.
