The Women’s Rugby World Cup kicks off tonight, and Red Roses centre Tatyana Heard is raring to go.
One of England’s most recognised and celebrated female rugby players, Heard was born in Pisa before spending her early years in the USA. She relocated to North Yorkshire with her family when she was five years old and, not long after, she discovered rugby. She’d long loved watching her brother play, but sparked her own personal passion for the sport when asked to compete in a tag tournament at school.
