Botterman wants to be the best in the world
The Journal
|August 25, 2025
HANNAH Botterman is determined to become the “best loosehead prop in the world” following her standout display in England's Women's Rugby World Cup opener.
-
The 26-year-old was one of the key performers in the Red Roses’ 69-7 victory over the United States at the Stadium of Light on Friday.
As well as her brilliant effort in the front row, Botterman also scored one of England’s 11 tries and is determined to keep improving.
“I've worked really hard over the off-season to get into some decent shape,” the prop said.
“I don’t want to be shy about the fact that I want to be the best loosehead prop in the world. I want to cement that this tournament. For me, that was a good start, but I feel like I've still got a lot more I can give.”
