Our Eighth Q&A Live will be next Tuesday at 7:30pm on our Instagram page with England and Harlequin...

Episode 8 of "60 minutes with..." will see Luke Cuff-Burnett and special guest, Leanne Riley, talk about the life of a Red Rose, the women's game and what's been going on in lockdown.

Leanne Riley started her international rugby career playing sevens, and was part of the successful England team that lifted the Challenge Cup Sevens crown in Hong Kong in 2012.

Her Test debut in the 15-a-side format came in 2013 against South Africa but the Harlequins scrum half would have to wait until the 2018 Women's Six Nations for her first try. Leanne took up rugby at the age of 10 at Park Hill Primary School in her home city of Coventry. She won the Women’s Premiership in 2017 with Aylesford Bulls Ladies before the club was taken over by Harlequins at the start of the Tyrrells Premier 15s for the 2017/18 season. Leanne is also a talented netball player who represented Warwickshire and in January 2019 was awarded a full-time England contract, and featured in four of England's games as they won the Women's Six Nations Grand Slam. To cap off her campaign, Leanne was named in the Red Roses Super Series squad in June 2019. Leanne featured in all 2019 autumn tests and three 2020 Women's Six Nations matches.
