Season of Recognition
Egan’s selection crowns what has already been an outstanding season for the Navan RFC player. Earlier this year, she was also named to the 2025 DkIT Future Stars of Rugby Women’s XV, recognising emerging talent from across the Leinster North-East region.
Her performances in Nottingham underline her rising status and mark another proud moment for both Egan and Navan RFC.
