Hannah, who has been signed to Southampton FC's women's team since the age of 16, shared "I love football because I am incredibly competitive. Each game is different. It tests my ability in every way:聽fitness, speed, strength, touch, decision-making". Talking of her achievement, she added:聽"I've had so much rejection in football. This call-up is the highlight of my football career and I am looking forward to representing my university and my country at a high level".
Liam, a scrum half originally from Wales, said: "I am buzzing to have the opportunity to represent England students, even if I am Welsh! It's a huge opportunity for me and I can't wait to get to the tournament. I'm looking forward to meeting up with the team and playing a high standard of rugby but also to play nationally in front of my family".
