The epitome of a perfect winger. Pace, power and balance. She plays equally well off both wings. The 2 things I think I admire most about her is she is adept at using her non-carrying arm to deflect attempted tackles and she has a reluctance to get her kit dirty (because usually when she crosses the try line there are no defenders within a mile of her!)
I’m a girl, who plays rugby ,and I’m in a team filled with boys so I’m the only girl and it was my second time playing in my rugby team and this kid ran up to me and flung me across the floor. I will never forget that moment. 🤣
i used to play rugby with a girl in our squad. She was the secret weapon. More dedicated than any of us and she would absolutely fold the lads in the tackles
Interesting to see her develop over the course of that timeline, from the pure pace and hesitant groundings of the early tries to the spatial awareness and diving to score of the later ones. Quality player getting better.
An appropriate name, you might say (as no doubt, hundreds have). And when you throw in the other Red Roses finishers like Dow, Kildunne, McKenna, Thompson it's kind of terrifying. Hell, you could even throw Scarratt into that list. Then you put them outside the likes of Scarratt, Rowland and Harrison and behind Packer, Ward, Hunter, Colwall, Davies, Bern and the Red Roses are genuinely phenomenal.
6 tries in her first Test for England, 5 tries in her second. If that had been someone in the men's team, the press would have been talking about it for days.
great against weaker teams but she's holding the ball in the wrong hand. She get's tackled and it's not try. She's not playing school rugby anymore. Learn with the pros.
@@BenjWarrant how is that misogynist? It’s an attempt at being a constructive comment, but poorly worded and a nasty line at the end, but it’s not misogynist
@@BenjWarrant it's true though. It comes off as mansplaining a sport to a professional sportsperson because of the last comment but there is a correct arm to hold the ball in.
@ong7196 Having played rugby for many years, in almost every position except scrum half and hooker, ending up at fly half when I was faster and faster thinking than my contemporaries, if you know your run to the try line is a simple one you can hold the ball however you like.
