Meg Jones nominated for World Player of the Year

Meg Jones has been nominated for the World Rugby Women’s Player of the Year award.

Fresh from qualifying for this weekend’s World Cup Final with a standout performance against France, Meg Jones was today included in the shortlist alongside Canada and Saracen’s Sophie de Goede, and New Zealand’s Jorja Miller.

Speaking on Meg’s nomination, Trailfinders Women Head Coach, Barney Maddison said:

“Meg is an immense player. She’s a formidable leader on the pitch who lifts everyone around her; she’s been central to so much of what England have achieved at the World Cup so far. To see her nominated is no surprise – it’s simply recognition of the world class player and person she is. She’s someone we cannot wait to see in a Trailfinders shirt this season.”

This year’s winner will be announced at Saturday’s World Cup final, where Meg, Abi Burton, and the rest of their Red Roses teammates will face off against a Canada side that features Trailfinders Julia Schell, Claire Gallagher, and Mikiela Nelson.
