Mural honouring the England Women’s Rugby team revealed as Twickenham’s iconic rugby pub ‘The Cabbage Patch’ reopens as the home of the Red Roses for the 2025 Women’s Six Nations.
London, 20th March 2025: A striking new mural paying tribute to England’s Red Roses rugby team has been unveiled today sending a powerful message of support to the team ahead of the 2025 Guinness Women’s Six Nations, marking what’s set to be a historic year for women’s rugby.
The mural features England captain Zoe Aldcroft alongside vice-captains Marlie Packer and Meg Jones, honouring their leadership, resilience, and impact on the sport. The trio are set to lead England through the Guinness Women’s Six Nations tournament, with their sights firmly set on retaining their title ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup on home soil later this year.
Designed by British street artists, MurWalls, the mural now takes pride of place on the walls of London’s most iconic rugby pub, The Cabbage Patch, which has been transformed into ‘The Red Roses Patch’ for the duration of the tournament. This newly rebranded fan hub is the ultimate destination for supporters – offering an electric matchday atmosphere, exclusive events, and the closest fan experience to being inside the stadium itself.
Inside, fans can explore an array of Red Roses memorabilia, celebrating the team’s rich history – from rugby legend Gill Burns’ boots, to Katy Daley Mclean’s shirt, making it a true home for cheering on women’s rugby throughout the Six Nations.
England captain Zoe Aldcroft, said: “It’s an incredible feeling to see this mural celebrating the Red Roses. This is a huge year for us, and the support from fans means everything as we push for Six Nations and World Cup success.”
“This mural is more than just an artwork – it’s a symbol of how far women’s rugby has come. To see myself, Marlie, and Meg up there in Twickenham, at a venue so central to rugby fan culture, is an incredible feeling. I hope every young girl and boy who walks past it knows that they can be part of this journey too. The Red Roses are ready to make history, and we can’t wait to have the fans behind us every step of the way.”
Meanwhile, at Allianz Stadium Twickenham, fans attending the England v France fixture on 26 April will be treated to a half-time performance by chart-topping duo Rizzle Kicks. Their performance coincides with the release of their new album Competition Is For Losers and their sold-out UK tour, making the Six Nations finale a must-attend event for sports and music fans alike.
Stuart Green, GM of The Cabbage Patch, said: “I’m so excited to celebrate the Guinness Women’s Six Nations with a new look for the pub, renamed as The Red Roses Patch for the duration of the tournament, and the mural on the outside of the pub – celebrating three fantastic players. It’s great to see the Guinness Women’s Six Nations build momentum and as the most famous rugby pub in the world, it’s only right that we’re at the heart of it. The Red Roses Patch will be the best pub to catch all the action and cheer on the Red Roses. As well as showing every game, we’ll be hosting player appearance events plus sensory friendly screenings – making women’s rugby accessible to all.”
The Women’s Six Nations is an unmissable opportunity to experience world-class rugby on home soil, whether in the stadium, or at The Red Roses Patch – all fans can get up close with the action to cheer on England as they gear up for success.
