Full-back Ellie Kildunne might be the most thrilling runner in the English game right now. Men's, women's, 15s, sevens. Anywhere.
Two minutes into her debut for Wasps last month, she cut Harlequins' defence to ribbons with a searing 60-metre score.
It's been a whirlwind few months for the 21-year-old, and you can read more here.

Speaking ahead of the game, England coach Simon Middleton said his side's trip across the Channel will be a "typical ding-dong" with "maybe one score in it".
"We have beaten them the last five times we have played them but only one game has been by more than one or two scores. It will be a great game and England/France always is," said Middleton.
"It will be hugely competitive. It will be interesting without the crowds. They set the standard. Playing in France is just something else. It will be really sad that the stadium will be empty. France are a team that thrive on the crowd so it will be interesting to see how they go without them."

It's a glorious afternoon in Grenoble, but there will no fans inside the Stade des Alpes because of Covid-19 restrictions.
Supporters usually come out in their numbers when France host England, but how will their absence effect the players today?

This is the first of two autumn games between Grand Slam champions England and France.
The Red Roses were supposed to spend the autumn in New Zealand and Australia preparing for the 2021 World Cup but changed plans because of the pandemic.
They now play their closest Six Nations rivals, who they beat 19-13 in the opening match of the 2020 championship.
It's Grenoble today, before we head to Twickenham next week.
