Head coach John Mitchell has a permanent and personal memento of England's Rugby World Cup victory after star full-back Ellie Kildunne gave him a celebratory tattoo.
Kildunne fired up a tattoo gun and adorned the inside of 61-year-old Mitchell's wrist with an equals sign and '2025' in honour of their victory over Canada in Saturday's final.
In the dressing room after the final, prop Hannah Botterman had similarly updated the sleeve of her playing shirt, scrawling 2025 below 1994 and 2014 – the dates of England's previous two Rugby World Cup victories – on the sleeve.
Captain Zoe Aldcroft and scrum-half Natasha Hunt broke a self-imposed 13-month alcohol ban in the aftermath of victory, necking some iced cider before the team returned to the Allianz Stadium pitch and celebrated in front of the empty stands.
Their on-pitch celebrations included a rendition of the squad's reworked version of Gala's megahit Freed from Desire, which included the lyrics England's on fire/Watch our back three come alive/England's on fire/Then our forwards gonna drive/England's on fire/coming at us, it's suicide.
