England and Leicester Tigers hooker Amy Cokayne says she does not expect to continue playing beyond the age of 33 and next year's World Cup will probably be her last.
England forward Amy Cokayne has suggested next year's Women's Rugby World Cup will be the last edition of the tournament before she retires.
"I very much want to jump before I am pushed. I don't want to be that old woman out there, where people are asking 'why is she still playing?' A 2020-21 top-flight champion with Harlequins, the Provost Officer in the Royal Air Force has seen the sport become one requiring players to "commit your entire life to it"."When I go on holiday, say, with my friends, I've got to do a running session four times a week and a gym session."I'm more than happy to do that at the minute - but whether I'll be more than happy to do that when I'm in my mid-30s, I'm not so sure.
