Rosie Galligan

Rosie Jemima Galligan (born 30 April 1998) is an English rugby union player. She is a member of the England women's national rugby union team and plays for Saracens at club level.

International career After playing for England U20s in 2017/18 and 2018/19, Galligan's full England debut came off the bench against Ireland in the 2019 Six Nations. Her international career was interrupted by a bout of meningitis in September 2019 followed by a serious injury in January 2020 when a fall in a line-out caused a broken leg and ankle along with three ruptured ligaments, so her second cap did not come until the 2022 Six Nations match against Scotland.

She was named in England's squad for the Women's Six Nations Championship on 17 March 2025. She made the Red Roses side for the Women's Rugby World Cup in England.

Club career Galligan joined Premier 15s team Saracens for the 2016/17 season, breaking into their first team the following year, and helped them to two Premier 15 titles. Galligan left Harlequins to return to Saracens in 2023.

Early life and education Galligan grew up in Kent where she developed an interest in rugby after being involved in a touch tournament and went on to play for Aylesford Bulls.

Galligan is engaged to fellow England rugby international Marlie Packer.
