About the Author

Tasha Percy is both an editor and a writer and has a very keen passion for rugby. She played for the first XV women's rugby team at the University of East Anglia for three years, including for a period as captain. She also trained with a local UK county team Lakenham-Hewitt for a season, gaining greater experience of the game being played at a higher level. After leaving university she continued pursuing her love for the sport by becoming a member of a touch rugby team in a league in South-west London. However, it was while playing here that she was forced into early retirement, after sustaining a devastating ACL injury. Although unable to play she continued to show her passion for the game from the sidelines, as a coach for the team for the rest of that season.
