The
England prop thought playing rugby full-time was a pipe dream but is now loving life on and off the pitch
How do you prepare to face your biggest rivals in the Six Nations? Watch the
Donald Trump impeachment trial? That’s how Vickii Cornborough and Shaunagh Brown prepared for last Sunday’s 19-13 win against France. “Everybody else went out to a restaurant, but me and Shaunagh thought we should just have a night in and cook our own food,” Cornborough says. “We watched the impeachment trial.” Brown says. “It was a great evening.”
In the shadows of the Pyrenees in Pau, south-western
France, Cornborough entered the field as a 48th-minute replacement to win her 50th England cap. The prop, named in the starting XV for Sunday’s meeting with
Scotland, reflects on the milestone after a gruelling training session of almost two hours.
