England and RAF superstar Amy Cokayne receives major World Rugby recognition

RAF rugby union superstar Amy Cokayne has been named in World Rugby's Dream Team of the Year.

The World Cup winner took on a new vice-captaincy role with England this year and scored in every game as the Red Roses won their eighth consecutive Six Nations trophy and their fifth Grand Slam in a row.

The end of the year hasn't been kind to Cokayne and the Red Roses though, as injury disrupted her WXV Global Series campaign and England's near four-year winning streak was ended by Canada.

2027 is expected to be another banner year for Cokayne in an England shirt.

She currently sits on 97 caps for her national team and if she can stay fit, that milestone 100th cap could come during the Six Nations.
