Did you win a rugby session?
The England women's rugby team celebrate beating France
Anna and Tracey's new training mates

We were giving two lucky ladies the chance to train with the England women's rugby team at their base in Loughborough on 16 August.

The Women's Six Nations champions are preparing for the Rugby World Cup in Edmonton, Canada, which begins on 31 August.

To win this fantastic prize, you had to explain, in no more than 50 words, why we should choose you to train with the England women's rugby squad.

We were inundated with lots of entries but two stood out from the rest. So congratulations to Anna Sophia Jones from London and Tracey Lee from Harlow.

Anna's entry was: "Living in the east end of London, rugby is not a game, it's a way of life - even if I am half the size of my assailants!

"I find it also helps getting on to public transport. Scrummaging against the general populous to get a seat... Survival is key!"

And Tracey came up a little limerick which went:

"There once was a girl called Tracey Lee,
Who loved to watch and play rugby,
'I can play lock or prop and run till I drop,
So come on England please pick me!'"

Runner-up Gemma Lynn will receive a signed England shirt and various rugby goodies for her entry:

"I spent my youth freezing on the touchline watching my brother play rugby before starting university and playing there. It would be a dream to train with the England woman's team and would be made sweeter as it would make my brother insanely jealous!"

Hopefully your signed shirt will make him just green with envy...

Commiserations to everyone who took part, but keep your eyes open for another brilliant competition.
