2025/26 Premiership Women's Rugby | RugbyPass' Team of the Season

Sunday afternoon saw Saracens pick up their fourth Premiership Women’s Rugby title in style with a 52-14 win over Trailfinders Women in the Final.

The fixture at the Twickenham Stoop was a last chance for the league’s best players to strut their stuff this season. This season we have been treated to some sensational solo performances across the eighth campaign in the PWR era.

As we now head into the offseason there is just enough time to see which players shone the most. So, here is RugbyPass’ 2025/26 PWR Team of the Season…

15. Emma Sing (Gloucester Hartpury)

Emma Sing’s strong domestic performances do not come as a shock at this stage. In 2025/26 the 25-year-old continued to be a major influence for Gloucester Hartpury as she picked up a gaggle of Player of the Match awards, 114 points and 635 metres from 113 carries. The continuation of her strong domestic form was not enough to take Gloucester Hartpury to a fourth PWR title in as many years, but it was memorable nonetheless.

14. Alysha Corrigan (Saracens)

If there was anyone that epitomised Saracens’ ravenous desire for success this season, it was Alysha Corrigan. This season the 29-year-old Prince Edward Island native made 13 PWR appearances and scored 11 tries as the North London club wrapped up their fourth English league title in eight years. As ever it was a well-rounded performance from the wing – who also represented Canada in HSBC SVNS Series and World Championship competition this season – which included 100 tackles, 1025 metres carries, 48 defenders beaten and 13 turnovers won.

13. Megan Jones (Trailfinders Women)

In her first Trailfinders Women season, Megan Jones took the West London side to new heights. This term the 29-year-old made 11 PWR appearances this season – including a starring role in her team’s semi-final victory against three-time champions Gloucester Hartpury – assisted six tries, scored three and carried the ball for 583 metres from her 136. In a team that the 29-year-old was the focal point of her team’s efforts, Jones rose to every occasion perfectly.

12. Alev Kelter (Loughborough Lightning)

Nobody beat more players [108] than Alev Kelter in PWR across 2025/26. The Loughborough Lightning centre also made the second-most metres in contact [310] and metres made [1090]. Kelter even packed down at blindside flanker late in the season as injury meant the 47-cap USA Women’s Eagles centre was drafted into the pack. On top of the 35-year-old’s relentless work ethic, Kelter also made 12 dominant tackles, won 11 turnovers and even carried the ball 166 times. Evergreen.

11. Mia Venner (Gloucester Hartpury)

Mia Venner could not stop scoring tries for Gloucester Hartpury as the West Country club reached the semi-finals in 2025/26. In total the 24-year-old wing crossed the whitewash on 12 occasions. It was a tally that saw Venner win the top try scorer award alongside Saracens’ May Campbell, Sale Sharks’ Rhona Lloyd and Loughborough Lightning’s Bo Westcombe-Evans. Venner also bagged herself four try assists, beat 78 defenders and made 665 post contact metres.

10. Zoe Harrison (Saracens)

This season Zoe Harrison played in 16 matches for Saracens on their way to a fourth league title of the PWR era. In the season that the fly-half also won a Women’s Rugby World Cup and guided the Red Roses to a fifth Guinness Women’s Six Nations Grand Slam in a row, Harrison registered a league-high 173 points [one try, four penalties and 78 conversions] and even assisted 13 tries. This may have been a career defining season for the 28-year-old, you cannot help but be excited about what comes next for Harrison with a first-ever British & Irish Lions tour approaching in 2027.

9. Olivia Apps (Saracens)

Olivia Apps’ first season in PWR could not have gone better. The scrum-half was named PWR Player of the Year at the start of June for her efforts and was then at the epicentre of the club’s first league title in four years. Among other things the 27-year-old was a scorer of 11 tries, assisted eight, completed 677 passes and even carried the ball for 877 metres – 524 of which were post contact. Not bad for a player that also turned out in HSBC SVNS Series and World Championship competition for Canada.

1. Hope Rogers (Exeter Chiefs)

Ever since Hope Rogers arrived at Exeter Chiefs in 2022 the 33-year-old has been one of the league’s top performers. The loosehead prop averages nearly a try a game for her club side and has now been part of the official PWR Team of the Year for three years in a row. This season the USA Women’s Eagle has scored 10 tries, made 142 tackles in defence and even contributed to the league’s most successful scrum as Chiefs returned to the play-offs at the first time of asking under Steve Salvin.

2. Georgia Ponsonby (Trailfinders Women)

Georgia Ponsonby was among a string of high-profile Trailfinders Women signings ahead of this season as the club aimed to play knockout rugby for the first time in 2025/26. Along with the likes of Megan Jones and Alana Borland, Ponsonby lived up to every expectation that was had of the Black Fern. Trailfinders had the joint-most successful lineout in the league alongside Sale Sharks and Gloucester Hartpury, with Ponsonby the rock the set piece was built around. The 26-year-old also scored nine tries, carried the ball 122 times and completed 161 tackles.

3. DaLeaka Menin (Exeter Chiefs)

Straight from a Women’s Rugby World Cup campaign where DaLeaka Menin was at the heart of Canada’s highly successful scrum, the tighthead prop picked up exactly where she left off for Exeter Chiefs. She carried the ball 142 times for 469 metres, beat 38 defenders and even made 103 tackles across her 16 outings this season. Menin’s attributes in the loose made the 31-year-old the perfect stand-in for the injured Maddie Feaunati in the back-row at the end of the season, where the North American seemed to thrive.

4. Julia Omokhuale (Saracens)

We got glimpses of what Julia Omokhuale was capable of last season in a Leicester Tigers shirt. This season the 24-year-old was unleashed in the Saracens pack. In total the Alberta native made 18 appearances for the North London club and was named Player of the Match in the 52-14 victory against Trailfinders in the Final. This season Omokhuale made 199 tackles, 18 dominant tackles, scored five tries and even made 506 post contact metres.

“I just think her and her raw attributes are outstanding, her athleticism is on a different level, and I think her attacking side of the ball is catching up with her defensive side of the ball, and the impact she has had is fantastic,” Alex Austerberry, Saracens Director of Women’s Rugby, said.

5. Alana Borland (Trailfinders Women)

Another of those high-profile offseason arrivals, 2021 Rugby World Cup winner Alana Borland shone for Trailfinders Women this term. Without Borland as a member of the club’s spine of senior international players it is hard to imagine the West London side making the PWR Final. Integral to the club’s high-performing lineout with 44 takes at the set piece and five line outs stolen. Borland was a rock in Barney Maddison’s second row, made 203 tackles. 19 of which that were dominant.

6. Georgie Perris-Redding (Sale Sharks)

As Sale Sharks enjoyed their best domestic season ever, it was hard to look past Georgie Perris-Redding as the team’s captain and emotional heartbeat. This season included wins against Trailfinders, Harlequins and Loughborough Lightning. The 29-year-old made 204 tackles, won 12 turnovers, carried the ball 88 times, beat 34 defenders and assisted three tries. With firepower coming to the North West in the form of Zoe Stratford, Tatyana Heard and Sarah Beckett, you can expect the USA Women’s Eagle to be at the heart of the club’s charge for a first-ever top four slot.

7. Maisy Allen (Exeter Chiefs)

In Steve Salvin’s first season as head coach no one thrived more in the Exeter Chiefs pack than Maisy Allen. The capped 23-year-old Red Roses flanker made the most tackles in the league [249], scored 10 tries, assisted six, 11 line breaks and made 153 carries. Across those carries Allen beat 29 defenders, carried the ball 545 metres and even won 16 turnovers. As Exeter returned to the top four after a knockout rugby absence, Allen was her team’s undisputed star.

8. Sadia Kabeya (Loughborough Lightning)

It is really horrifying to think how much talent Sadia Kabeya has at her fingertips. Fresh from winning Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025, the flanker was unleashed as an attacking force for Loughborough Lightning and scored 11 tries in the 11 matches she played this season. In total Kabeya made 126 carries, made 503 post contact metres and beat 39 defenders. The 24-year-old also made 134 tackles, eight dominant tackles and won seven turnovers as the East Midlanders finished sixth in the league.
