In addition to competing in two Rugby World Cup finals and winning many Six Nations titles, Abbie Ward is the first female player to benefit from the new rugby maternity rules.
“I was the first player to have a baby while still training [with] a plan to get straight back,” she explained.
A bump on the road, an documentary, is now based on her tale.
Ms. Ward stated: “This was the first time nutritionist, trainers, coaches all came together to support this journey [and sharing this now] means it will be easier for the next player.”
