‘Rugby family’ can sometimes sound clichè but until you need them most it holds a lot of weight. It goes beyond your teammates. Players,parents, coaches,fans, they will be there to support you beyond the pitch, that’s why our game is so special and why I am incredibly grateful❤️

20 tackles made by @Scotlandteam second-row @emmacwassell at the weekend in Cardiff... Also worth nothing that, thanks to @WXVRugby 2 appearances + taking on Wales, Emma (65 caps, 9th) + team mate @skeldonlana (67, =7th) are now in the top 10 capped Scotland female players ever

Great to see @emmacwassell + @Scotlandteam's record breaking win V Wales in the @Womens6Nations opener featured on the front page of the @scotonsunday - not the front page of the sport section, but the overall front page with my report inside... 😍
