Zoe Aldcroft
Zoe earned her first full cap when playing in the final four minutes against France at Salt Lake City in July 2016, scoring the try that brought a 17-13 win. She appeared eight times for England U20, having graduated through the age groups before becoming one of 28 players offered a full-time contract in January 2019. She missed the entire 2019 Women’s Six Nations because of injury but returned for the 2019 Super Series in San Diego and was awarded an England contract for the 2019/20 season. She was a standout performer in the 2020 Six Nations matches and after a stellar 2021, Zoe was named World Rugby player of the year. She was part of the squad that travelled to New Zealand for the delayed 2021 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand and returned a year later to compete in the inaugural WXV1 tournament. Zoe was part of the team that won the 2014 Six Nations Grand Slam and the WXV1 title later that year in Canada. She has been named captain for 2025 and is part of the Six Nations squad.

The second row, or locks, are usually among the biggest physical presences on a team, required to provide power in the scrum, a jumper in the lineout and a big ball-carrying option. Renowned for their physicality, work rate and mobility.
