England need 'extraordinary' leader Aldcroft - Mitchell
Written by I Dig Sports
"It's an absolute honour and privilege to be able to drive this amazing team to where we want to go," said Aldcroft, who will have Packer and Megan Jones as vice-captains.
"A massive part of being a captain is leading by example. When I speak, I really mean what I'm saying and I like to think about what I'm saying.
"But it's also about bringing everyone else around me up and making sure everyone can be themselves and thrive in whatever they're doing."
The Red Roses will look to win a fourth successive Women's Six Nations Grand Slam in March and April, before hosting the Women's Rugby World Cup in August and September.
