Laura’s passion for sport started during her school days, when she enjoyed taking part in every sport the school offered. Winning accolades for her sporting abilities, demonstrated Laura versatility, playing in Netball, Hockey, Tennis and Athletics teams. However it was her determination to disperse the stigma attached to young women playing the sport of rugby that encouraged her to take up the sport herself and become a role model and spokesperson for the game. With the added support of the RFU and her own rugby club, a synergy was established between Laura playing rugby and performing at Twickenham for the England fans and players. It offered Laura a platform, and she was able to raise awareness to show that woman can play all sports.
