Last week RugbyPass named England Red Roses captain Meg Jones as its top player of 2026.

RugbyPass highlighted key figures from its Top 50 Women's Rugby Players of 2026 list, which named England Red Roses captain Meg Jones as the top player. Notable inclusions include Ireland's Aoife Wafer at fifth after retaining her exact ranking, and Canada's pair of scrum-halves, Olivia Apps at 25th and Justine Pelletier at 36th, following Canada's victory that ended England's 41-match winning streak.
The list also featured three English past World Rugby Players of the Year: Ellie Kildunne in sixth, Zoe Stratford in 30th, and Marlie Packer in 38th. Additionally, the United States saw Freda Tafuna ranked 44th and Hope Rogers honored, while France contributed five players led by Madoussou Fall Raclot at 18th and Justine Bourdon Sansus.
