Bio

Marlie Packer is a first-rate flanker who has represented Saracens Women since 2017 and England women’s national rugby union team since 2008. Packer has also represented the England rugby sevens team. 

Born on 2 October 1989 in Yeovil, Somerset, Packer started playing rugby at the age of five. She trained at Ivel Barbarians in Yeovil, staying with the side until she was 18. 

Her club career began in 2007, when she started playing for Bath. Then, in 2009, she moved to Bristol. She then signed with Wasps in 2013, before heading back to Bristol for a year. She then moved to Saracens in 2017, where she has stayed ever since.

On the international stage, Packer made her debut for England in 2008 and quickly developed a reputation as a fierce competitor. She went on to start in the 2014, 2017, and 2021 Rugby World Cup finals. She also represented England during the 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens 

In 2019, Packer signed her full time contract with England. Following an ankle injury, she returned for the 2021 Rugby World Cup and scored a hat-trick during England's quarter-final against Australia

Packer is particularly well known for her Six Nations accomplishments. She has won several Six Nations titles and multiple Grand Slams. In 2023, she was the tournament's top point and try scorer. 

In 2023, Packer was named as England captain and in the same year, won the World Rugby Player of the Year award. In 2024, she earned her 100th international cap during the 2024 Six Nations, and is one the squad’s most-capped rugby players of all time. 

With many exciting tournaments to come—and the 2025 Rugby World Cup fast approaching—we're excited to see Marlie Packer's next big achievement.
