Best Rugby moment On the pitch – winning the league in the season that one of our players, Sue Moloney, died, as well as running out in front of a crowd of 25,000+ in the final of the Dubai 7s ladies comp. Off the pitch – watching Jonny Wilkinson slot his kick over for England to win the World Cup.
Worst Rugby moment Playing in the driving snow, in freezing conditions, with giant hail stones, where you get raked but can't feel it because you're so cold and then on top of that, you get whooped and have a 6 hour journey home.
Rugby ambition To continue playing in a successful HLFC for as long as I can and to enjoy doing it.
Why rugby Because its great fun, you make lifelong friends and the contacts and opportunities that arise are endless. It’s also good for getting rid of stress!
Describe yourself Mostly relaxed, laid-back with fluffy hair.
Favourite alcoholic beverage: Pimms and Lemonade.
Other sports Endurance sleeping and extreme slow-walker avoidance.
Favourite meal Crispy duck pancakes with hoisin sauce.
Favourite film Austin Powers and Anchorman.

Favourite quotation: 'Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and am what some people call mentally retarded.' - Brick Tamland.
Best holiday (why): Dubai. We played in the 7s tournament and the experience was amazing, both on and off the pitch.
Claim to fame:  I had to have my hand in a cast for 4 weeks because of a Blue Peter presenter.
