She was named in the England squad for the delayed 2021 Rugby World Cup held in New Zealand in October and November 2022.

Muir was named in England's squad for the 2025 Women's Six Nations Championship. She was named in the Red Roses side for the Women's Rugby World Cup in England, and was in the starting line-up for the final, playing as prop.

Club career Muir joined her first senior club side, Wasps Women, in 2018.

In 2022, Muir left Wasps to join Gloucester-Hartpury.

Early life and education Muir grew up in Oxford, and attended Cherwell School. She began playing rugby in Oxford at a young age, and joined the Oxford Harlequins (U6-U11) and then moved to the Gosford All Blacks, joining the U15 and later U18 sides.

She represented the South West at age grade level and moved to the Wasps' Centre of Excellence before joining the senior team.

She was awarded a Brunel Sports Scholarship, allowing her to train as a professional athlete while studying a sports science degree.

Muir played cricket until she was 12, partly because her mother preferred watching cricket to rugby. She was an excellent fielder but only an average batter. In 2025, she hosted a workshop with teammates Ellie Kildunne and Lucy Packer which aimed to "inspire the next generation of female players at Chinnor Rugby Club in Thame, Oxfordshire."
