    Kelly Brazier has announced her retirement from international rugby

    Kelly Brazier has announced her retirement from international rugby


    The 36-year-old played 44 tests in the 15s code, winning two World Cups and playing in two others.

    In sevens - she's earned four Olympic and Commonwealth Games medals, including gold at Tokyo in 2021.

    Brazier says she has reached a point after 18 years at the top level where her body and mind are feeling the wear and tear.
