Mo Hunt entered the season at a career high after helping England win a second World Cup medal against Canada. She carried that form into the Premiership Women’s Rugby, where Gloucester-Hartpury seek a fourth straight title. The team earned a home semi-final before the league paused for the Women’s Six Nations and remains unbeaten since November 2024. Hunt’s season ended abruptly after she suffered a knee injury in England’s opening match against Ireland. The 37-year-old scrum-half faces three months of recovery and will miss the remainder of the campaign. She said she has not fully processed the setback but is making gradual progress. Hunt watched England’s eighth consecutive Six Nations title and fifth straight grand slam from home, praising teammate Lucy Packer’s performance. She also viewed the decisive match against France alongside teammate Zoe Stratford. England overcame multiple absences to extend their winning run. Hunt highlighted the squad’s depth as key to recent success and expressed confidence in her club’s continued performance. She aims to return for England’s WXV matches in September and October while eyeing the 2027 women’s British and Irish Lions tour. Several Gloucester players, including Sisilia Tuipulotu and Tatyana Heard, are departing, potentially altering the balance of power next season.
