The six female nations 2025: Ellie Kildunne reads with the hat -trick in Cardiff

“I didn’t even scratch the surface of my potential.”

Those were the words of the Back of England Ellie Kildunne in November, when the women’s player of the year of World Rugby was named.

The 25 -year -old scored 14 attempts in nine tests for red roses last mandate and, outside, outside, as if he had maintained the shape in front of a world of home rugby world – which starts in August – it was all that he had to do.

But Kildunne tried to become even better.

After participating in the late bench against Italy in York, a first start in the six female nations of this year arrived in 67-12 Wales hammering At the Stadium of the Principality Faced with a record crowd of 21,186 for an event of the Wales team on the homeland.

The Harlequin has marked his 50th cap with a triplet of the second half and a performance player of the match to start correctly the greatest year of his rugby career to date.

“The pressure is certainly a privilege,” Kildunne said to the BBC Two.

“Our potential is unimaginable. We will continue to improve. I really think we will bring it to levels that we have not been before.

“We will continue to push until we get to a point that we cannot imagine what the next will be.”

Two of the Kildunne attempts were a relatively simple point, with the third an instinctive finish from a kick.

When the whistle played for the beginning of the second half, Kildunne had no attempts. At the 56th minute, his hand was above his head for the umpteenth celebration of Lazo after a third score.

Kildunne made the most Carry (16) and meters (145 m) in the game, but it was his game of kicks that distinguished himself.

From the beautiful skilled chips to cause chaos in the cross -country field to Grubber’s football to transform the defense of Wales, Kildunne has expanded his game to be more than a simple lethal counterattack runner.

“He is starting to serve the team in several ways and there will be moments in which the teams take away the counterattack,” said England coach John Mitchell to BBC Two.

“It is world class with that plan A (running back), but will have to adapt in 2025 since some teams will not allow it to take the ball.

“We have to use it in the right way.”
