By Lawrence White LONDON (Reuters) -England overcame irrepressible France 43-42 to clinch a fourth straight Grand Slam and seventh successive Women's Six Nations title at Twickenham on Saturday as they extended their record winning streak in the tournament to 34 matches.

England, who extended their record winning streak in the tournament to 34 matches, were clinical during a breathless first half with tries from Abby Dow, Emma Sing (2), Lark Atkin-Davies and Claudia MacDonald, but they leaked three scores to the visitors, squandering a 31-7 lead and go in 31-21 up at halftime.
