Women’s Six Nations: Niece of Akapusi Qera helps England thrash Scotland

Lagi Tuima on attack for England

In the Women’s Six Nations match this morning 19‑year‑old Lagi Tuima helped England thrash Scotland 43 - 8.

Tuima who is the niece of Flying Fijians captain Akapusi Qera considers it an honour and a privilege to represent England as she does not intend to forget her roots.

She says she gets a thrill when there is chaos in front of her.

Tuima had an ankle injury at the start of the Six Nations but came in at outside‑centre against Scotland, who are improving but are expected to be swept aside by an England side who have proved too strong for Italy and Wales.
