Wales prop Cara Hope has announced she will be stepping back from international rugby to focus on her medicine degree.
The front-rower, who plays her club rugby at newly-crowned Premier 15s champions Gloucester-Hartpury, said balancing professional sport while studying full-time medicine has left her "in a challenging place."
Hope made her debut for Wales in the 2018 Six Nations and has won 27 caps, which she hopes to add to.
