SWITCH TO 15-A-SIDE
In December 2018 she left the national sevens setup to take up a contract with rugby union [15-a-side] club Gloucester-Hartpury in England. "The RFU [Rugby Football Union] has taken a leap of faith in giving us these contracts and it is massive for the game. Girls now have a choice, they can chase the sun for sevens or go professional in XVs. Having those options, it's just amazing for the sport. That is fantastic, we want to be athletes who people look up to. Girls can now aspire to be professional athletes and that is amazing. As a female rugby player if people are aspiring to be you that is the dream." (bbc.co.uk, 20 Dec 2018; dailymail.co.uk, 18 Jan 2019)
