Life before, during and after rugby

Shaunagh Brown recently hung up her boots having been part of the hugely successful England rugby team. Now retired Shaunagh tells Sportshour's Caroline Barker she's never been so busy! Not only is she coaching but she's also pushing for the creation of a Women's Lions team.

Shaunagh grew up as a mixed-race child from a single-parent family in Peckham in South London and rugby was not a sport she even considered. She only started playing professionally after representing England in athletics at the Commonwealth Games
