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.
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.
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.
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.
She formed part of a dominant England back three alongside Dow and Jess Breach.
Kildunne’s next challenge could be competing for Olympic gold as she confirmed she will be joining Team GB’s Sevens set-up after the Six Nations.
