World Cup winner Dow retires from rugby aged 28
The Guardian
|November 27, 2025
The Rugby World Cup winner Abby Dow has announced her retirement from professional rugby, with the Red Roses head coach, John Mitchell, bemoaning the fact that England have lost “the best right winger in world rugby at the peak of her powers”.
Dow has made the surprise move to focus on her engineering career. The England player's last game came in the World Cup final in September when the Red Roses defeated Canada 33-13 in front of a world-record crowd of 81,885 at Twickenham. Alongside the World Cup in her 59-cap international career, the 28-year-old Dow won seven Six Nations titles and two WXV 1 trophies.
The announcement is not a complete surprise as the wing left her club, Trailfinders, in June and had not signed for another side before the Premiership Women’s Rugby season.
