Sophie Hemming

Sophie Alexandra Hemming (born 20 June 1980) was an English rugby union player with 71 caps.

[1] She also won the RFU Linda Uttley Award in recognition of her dedication and commitment.

[4] Her rugby career required for her to make significant adjustments to her profession, transitioning from a farmyard to a domestic vet.

She said that this change helped her plan her training and reduced the physical exhaustion that came with her demanding job of treating farm animals.
