Retirement may have finally come for Sarah Hunter but there are still gongs to be received. There is little the former World Rugby Player of the Year did not achieve on the field as a player and, a matter of weeks after her hometown farewell, it feels only fitting that England’s most capped player now joins the Rugby Players’ Association’s Hall of Fame.
“It’s such an honour,” Hunter tells The Independent of joining a group that reads as a who’s who of rugby greats. “You look at the names who are in that Hall of Fame and to be put alongside them is pretty special.”
