28 January 2020
Steven

Vickii Cornborough (Harlequins Women, 49 caps)

The loosehead-prop was awarded a full-time contract in January 2019 and played in four of the five Six Nations games when the Red Roses won the Grand Slam. She plays her club rugby for Harlequins rugby.

Fun fact: She got a Bachelor of Science from the University of Reading

Lark Davies (Loughborough Lightning, 22 caps)

Making her first senior international start in 2018 against Italy in the Six Nations, the hooker has since become a regular in the England starting line-up, featuring in all five games of the 2019 Women’s Six Nations, and aiding the Red Roses to a Grand Slam win. 

Vicky Fleetwood (Saracens Women, 72 caps)

She made her full England debut at the age of 21 and had reached 50 caps by July 2015. Following a stint in Sevens, ahe returned to the 15s format and to Saracens for the 2018/19 season. Fleetwood’s first spell at Sarries came after she was part of the successful England squad that lifted the 2014 World Cup in France.

Fun fact: Fleetwood is a qualified personal trainer and is passionate about fitness and nutrition

Amelia Harper (Loughborough Lightning, 0 caps)

The England U20 star is likely to provide fresh options for Middleton in light of talismanic flanker Marlie Packer’s absence.

Sarah Hunter (Loughborough Lightning, 119 caps)

She is a coach for Loughborough Lightning and also a Number 8. Hunter has been capped for England 105 times (as of 19 October 2018) and won the World Cup in 2014. One of her ambitions is to win another as well as winning the Premiership with Loughborough.

Fun fact: Her Rugby hero is Richard Hill and she has the following match day supersitions:

  • Always eats a peanut butter and jam sandwich 3 hours before kick-off
  • Always has her warrior keyring on her match bag
  • Always packs her bag the night before a match

Heather Kerr (Darlington Mowden Park Sharks, 22 caps)

It’s been a whirlwind few years for the 28-year-old, who was part of the England squad who won all three of their autumn internationals in November. If Kerr’s twenties don’t already sound hectic enough, add into the mix that she recently completed a PhD in Civil Engineering at Durham and now works as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the university.

Fun fact: The former hockey goalkeeper had never touched a rugby ball until she took part in a charity match at Durham University aged 21 

Harriet Millar-Mills (Wasps FC Ladies, 51 caps)

Injury nightmare does not quite do justice to the ordeal that the back-rower has faced to get back on the pitch. Three knee surgeries and a total of 22 months out of rugby have been endured, but Millar-Mills is back and performing impressively for Wasps.

Fun fact: She enjoys being a maths teacher two days a week

Abbie Scott (Harlequins Women, 42 caps)

The lock previously played with Darlington Mowden Park before signing with Harlequins Ladies in 2017. She will look to add to her 21 caps during the 2020 Six Nations

Morwenna Talling (Loughborough Lightning, 0 caps)

The 17-year-old made her Tyrrells Premier 15s debut for Lightning against Saracens in October and has been part of England’s Talent Development Group.  The impact Morwenna has made in the Tyrrells league this season is nothing short of remarkable and that’s why she’s been called up to the squad for the 2020 Six Nations.
