Matchday programme 2022/23: Bristol Bears vs Saracens

BEARSWOMEN
Sarah Bern made her 50th appearance in an England shirt
against Australia at the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
The forward, who made her England international debut
against France in 2016, described the accolade as a “really
special achievement.”
Bern went on to say: “It’s a massive honour to play for your
country every time you step on the pitch, and you put on the
shirt.
“There’s no guarantee you’ll be pulling the jersey on again. To
be able to say that I’ve done that 50 times is quite special.”
The milestone came on the same day that fellow forward
Sarah Hunter, who became the most capped England and
women’s international.
“I think it’s really a cool thing to say that I’ve earn my 50th
cap alongside Sarah Hunter, who’s beaten the record to
become the most capped player of all time.
“It was quite nice to share that special moment with her. I was
an honour to run out on the pitch with her in what was a very
damp Waitakere Stadium.”
The Red Roses took on Canada in the semi-finals this morning.
