Jasmine Joyce is a two-time Olympian and rugby International at both XVs and 7s. At 5’7” and 134lbs, the little Welsh wizard is one of the best rugby players on the planet.

When you think of the top female athletes in rugby today, you think of players such as Emily Scarratt (England). Portia Woodman (New Zealand), Magali Harvey (Canada), Charlotte Caslick (Australia) or the USAs own Alev Kelter. All are great players, but none of them electrify the crowd every time they get the ball in the same way as Jasmine Joyce.

Blessed with exceptional pace and a shrewd rugby brain, the Welsh superstar is a terrier of a player with that little extra bit of X-factor that turns good players into something special. As likely to be covering back to make a sensational cover tackle as burning up the turf for another head turning score, Joyce is the kind of player who makes people who have never seen rugby before sit up and take notice.

At its best, women’s rugby is fast and skillful. Could the next Jasmine Joyce be living somewhere in Round Rock? Why not come out to our Rock Rugby practices, and take the first steps to finding out.
