Red Roses prop on her creative endeavours and England expectations before the Rugby World Cup on home soil

“I

like capturing people’s laughs; I think being able to hear it through the picture is so cool,” Maud Muir says as she discusses her favourite photographs from hundreds she has taken behind the scenes in the England women’s camp over the past five years.

Muir, the 24-year-old prop, and her teammates are preparing for a home Rugby World Cup, starting with the opener against USA in Sunderland next Friday.

In a quiet moment away from the intensity of squad preparations Muir discusses her other passion: the candid images she has captured of life with her club Gloucester-Hartpury, since moving to the West Country in 2022, and since she was first called up to the England squad the year before.
