Energised by life with Trailfinders, the England wing will take a positive mindset into the Six Nations.
At the end of the year, with reflection in mind, six rounds (almost) complete, and a whole chocolate reindeer as column-writing fuel - here’s what stands out, upon a gaze around Premiership Women’s Rugby.
