Sing believes her ‘farm strength’ can help her compete with Red Roses star to become England’s starting full-back
Emma Sing has ambitions to become England’s starting full-back in the Six Nations, but insists there is no rivalry between her and Ellie Kildunne, the Red Roses’ breakout World Cup star.
Sing is a Rugby World Cup winner, a multiple Six Nations grand slam champion and has lifted the Premiership Women’s Rugby trophy three times. Touting her achievements is not something the Gloucester-Hartpury back is comfortable with, but the silverware, along with her consistent club performances, are the reason why the 25-year-old is pushing for a starting place.
The No 15 jersey is synonymous with Kildunne, the Harlequins player who is the face of the England team and came second in the BBC Sports Personality of the Year after her electric performances at the 2025 World Cup. The players will be angling for the same position in the Women’s Six Nations, which begins on Saturday.
“I do find it really hard sometimes when you look at the media and they are trying to put us against each other,” she says. “I understand for club, we are against each other in that sense, but as soon as we go into camp we are trying to make each other better. We have different attributes so we are almost incomparable in that aspect. We are trying to make each other better and put that 15 shirt in a better place.
