If anything, my Mum would have been bloody proud to have made it on the news 💙 Thank you for all the love I have had on this.

‘Rugby family’ can sometimes sound clichè but until you need them most it holds a lot of weight. It goes beyond your teammates. Players,parents, coaches,fans, they will be there to support you beyond the pitch, that’s why our game is so special and why I am incredibly grateful❤️

“I asked for an emotional performance, I asked for a brave performance + that is exactly what I got - the win was for @emmacwassell"... As @rach_malcolm's @Scotlandteam squad posted 59 points V Fiji they were doing it for their friend + team mate ✍️ shorturl.at/oOslC

20 tackles made by @Scotlandteam second-row @emmacwassell at the weekend in Cardiff... Also worth nothing that, thanks to @WXVRugby 2 appearances + taking on Wales, Emma (65 caps, 9th) + team mate @skeldonlana (67, =7th) are now in the top 10 capped Scotland female players ever

Great to see @emmacwassell + @Scotlandteam's record breaking win V Wales in the @Womens6Nations opener featured on the front page of the @scotonsunday - not the front page of the sport section, but the overall front page with my report inside... 😍

It was brilliant to speak to @emmacwassell who gave us a bit of a preview to the Women's Six Nations starting in a couple of weeks! The @Scotlandteam second row missed the last campaign through injury and is eager to get back in the mix 🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 thenational.scot/sport/24169…
