Georgia Evans - Women's Rugby in Wales, & Life at Saracens

Today I chat with Saracens player, and Wales international, Georgia Evans.

This week 123 Wales international players started a petition to call on the Welsh Rugby Union to implement women’s performance pathways in the country. We talk about that, what the current pathway (or lack of one) is like in Wales and what potentially could be done to improve it.

We also talk about;

• How it feels playing for the Welsh national team
• Why Georgia decided to move to Saracens
• Finances around the Allianz Premier 15s league, and how Saracens players get paid
• The training schedule in Saracens
• Balancing work, while playing elite level rugby and training like a professional 
• The facilities, backroom team and support the Saracens women have
• Nutrition, and how its different for different player
• What travel is like in the Allianz Premier 15s
• Long term goals, and plans after rugby
• Reflect on last seasons 6 Nations
• Why Georgia switched from playing netball to rugby as a teenager.
