Rugby star Breach is tipped for the top

“She plays her club rugby at Harlequins so the former England Women’s coach Gary Street is there and that helps her, as she’s getting the knowledge and expertise there. But I kind of think to myself when I was 21 and got into the England squad I don’t remember being that confident or scoring that many tries - although I was a different position.

“When she plays she is incredibly confident and that’s great, you can’t coach confidence, it’s just something you have to build into your lifestyle and she’s got that now. “She will be around for a long time. She’s come from sevens, so it’s good to see her in the 15s game, but the good thing is the world is her oyster.”
