Ellie Kildunne, the full-back for the England Red Roses, is set to be the star of the show at the home Rugby World Cup.
Having been named the World Player of the Year in 2024, the 25-year-old is seen as the poster-girl for the tournament, with England as the clear favourites to win.
Kildunne's distinctive playing style, characterised by her serpentine weaves and dynamism, has already made her a fan favourite, with her trademark lasso celebration being imitated in the stands.

Her journey to this point has not been without its challenges, including a serious neck injury in 2023 which led to a 13-month lay-off.
However, she has returned stronger, feeling she has been given a 'second chance' and is determined to help her team rewrite their story after the heartbreak of the last World Cup final.
