Roshini Turner settling in at club after suffering impostor syndrome, aiming to create pathway for city’s women ahead of World Cup push

Roshini Turner has said a reality check delivered at last year’s WXV3 tournament, coupled with her burning desire to reach the 2029 Rugby World Cup with Hong Kong, prompted her “trailblazing” move to English giants Saracens.

The second row has made three PWR Cup appearances off the bench after “flipping my life upside down” to relocate in July. Saracens play Exeter Chiefs in the semi-finals on Sunday.

Hong Kong were soundly beaten by Fiji and the Netherlands, either side of a win over Madagascar, at the inaugural WXV3 in Dubai.

Against the Fijians, Turner was disconcerted that her line-outs “didn’t go well”. “They’re something I prided myself on … I didn’t see the space, there was a lot of information coming into me and it felt a bit overwhelming,” she said.
