Ellie Kildunne has her sights set on making the Great Britain rugby sevens team for this summer’s event in Paris.
Ellie Kildunne has her sights set on making up for missing out on the Olympics three years ago as she eyes a spot the Great Britain rugby sevens team for this summer's event in Paris. The 24-year-old helped Team GB qualify for the 2020 Games, which were delayed by a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but did not play in Tokyo as the offer of a full-time contract from the RFU to play the traditional 15-a-side form of rugby union in 2019 had proven too good to turn down.
' Kildunne was one of the stars of the Red Roses team as they again swept all before them to clinch the Women's Six Nations title for the sixth time in a row, finishing as the tournament's leading try-scorer after crossing the whitewash nine times. The Harlequins player was quick to credit the forwards for doing all of the hard work to create opportunities for her to finish along with enjoying having more of an opportunity to get the ball in hand under head coach John Mitchell.
