Ellie Kildunne has played in the past two Rugby World Cup finals for England

England full-back Ellie Kildunne has admitted feeling "really alone" after experiencing an emotional dip following the Red Roses' Rugby World Cup win.

The pre-tournament star delivered by scoring a brilliant solo try in England's final victory over Canada at a sold-out 82,000-capacity Allianz Stadium in September.

Four weeks on from winning England's first World Cup in 11 years, Kildunne returned to club action for Harlequins in front of 2,929 fans at Twickenham Stoop against Loughborough Lightning.

"You are playing in front of a sold-out crowd at Allianz, you have just won a World Cup, and the next minute you are back playing over the road in front of a slither of the amount of people," the 26-year-old told BBC Sport.
