Wales forward Georgia Evans is radiating joy as she reflects on an extraordinary year, marked by triumph and personal milestones. This summer, she celebrated winning the Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR) title with Saracens, a crowning achievement in her rugby career.

Just days after her championship victory, Hannah Botterman, an England World Cup winner, proposed to Evans against a stunning Greek sunset. The engagement ring, described humorously by Evans as potentially a "structural hazard," symbolizes a new chapter in her life. Adding to her happiness, she and Botterman are planning a family and have recently moved into a new house, setting the stage for an exciting future.

A year ago, Evans faced a vastly different reality. Following Wales’ disappointing exit from the World Cup, she dealt with online trolling that targeted her performance. Fortunately, the rugby community rallied around her, and her trademark pink ribbon emerged as a symbol of solidarity during the tournament.

This year, I'm in a really good space,

Despite playing for rival teams, Evans and Botterman support each other wholeheartedly. Evans expressed pride in Botterman's success as England maintains a remarkable 39-Test winning streak. "To have that connection is pretty special and unique," she noted.

Regarding her engagement, Evans described it as surreal, likening it to a "fever dream." While wedding plans are still pending, she has chosen fellow Wales forwards Alisha Joyce and Meg Webb as bridesmaids, humorously handing over hen party planning to them. "God knows if I'll come back alive," she joked.
