Packer scored three tries during the Six Nations as she led the Red Roses to their third straight Grand Slam and sixth consecutive title.

While the back-rower is not planning her retirement yet, she said she is planning for rugby to be part of her future.

"I don't know what I'm going to do when I retire but I don't think I'll be too far away from rugby because it gives me joy," she said.

Packer has returned to her club Saracens for the final four games of the regular Premiership Women's Rugby (PWR) season.

The three-time league champions sit second in the table and have already secured their place in the top four and play-offs.

The Red Roses will then regroup to defend their WXV1 tournament title in September, with warm-up games against France and New Zealand.

"We want to be the Red Roses that keep playing in these high-end games to show we are the best - and you can only be the best if you're playing the best," Packer said.

"That's what I think the RFU [Rugby Football Union] has worked really hard on for us to be able to do."
