Tara Flanagan's poise and good nature off the field, something that has stood her in good stead during an impressive career as a lawyer and a judge, belies her aggression and power on the field.
As a lock forward for the USA she was a huge part of the 1991 World Cup winners, earning a tournament MVP nod and the 1994 World Cup runners up.
