Chesham Stags rugby coach Rocky Clark has become the most capped female England player in history after she won her 101st cap on Saturday.

The 33-year-old equalled the previous record when she reached the century mark in a Six Nations defeat against France in March but she now stands alone in the record books after coming on against the USA.

The prop made her debut in Canada in a Churchill Cup match in 2003 and it provided the setting for her latest cap as England beat the Americans 39-13 in the Rugby Super Series.

The accolade is the latest in a series for Clark, who has won the World Cup with England, collected the Sports Personality Team of the Year award and received an MBE for her services to the sport since August last year.

Clark reiterated her desire to continue playing international rugby to the Free Press back in March, and insisted that she’d already set her sights on defending the World Cup in Ireland in 2017.

“It’s the biggest honour (playing for England) and something I felt that I was meant to do with my life for the past 12 years,” she said.

“I think one of the differences between me and someone else is that I’m still as hungry as ever. People mention to me ‘is this retirement?’ And I say ‘hell no’.

“The plan is to stay playing for as long as I can until I get dragged off the pitch. Luckily, I’m playing some of my best rugby of my life at the moment and long may it continue. There’s no other feeling that comes close to running out and representing your country.”
