England's iconic centre Emily Scarratt is preparing for a historic appearance at her fifth Women's Rugby World Cup in 2025, which will be held on home soil.
The veteran player, who has overcome a serious neck injury that required surgery and a 13-month lay-off, is a key part of the England squad.
She has expressed her gratitude for what feels like a 'second chance' to wear the white jersey.
Scarratt has been a central figure in the growth of women's rugby in the UK, having played in the 2010 home World Cup.
She is optimistic about the game's progress, noting the massive increase in visibility, participation, and media coverage since then.
With England heading into the tournament as favourites, Scarratt's experience and leadership will be invaluable as they seek to win the trophy for the first time since 2014.
Her journey from injury to a fifth World Cup appearance is an inspirational story for UK sports fans.
