Zoe Harrison is a world champion. She kicked the points that helped seal it, eight off her right boot in the Red Roses' 33-13 win over Canada at Twickenham last September, in front of 81,885 people, the biggest crowd ever to watch a women's rugby match.

She has the Grand Slams to go with the medal. A senior England career that started in 2017 and reads, by now, like a CV of the modern women's game. The most reliable kicking technique in it, built from the age of five at Tring.

Against Scotland this Six Nations she went twelve from twelve off the tee at Murrayfield. Not a conversion missed. Twenty-four points, top of the tournament scoring charts, the kind of afternoon that makes you wonder whether the wind ever gets to her.

It does, sometimes. She told us about one of those occasions too.

We asked her about what superstitions she may have before kicking the ball.

"Honestly, I actually try not to think about anything other than just kicking the ball," Harrison says. "The more I think about it, the more I actually just lose the natural talent I have of just kicking the ball."

That is the whole answer. There is no hidden second layer. The fly-half has settled on a theory of not thinking, and she is sticking to it.

What is the absolute worst song on the Saracens or Red Roses changing-room playlist, and which of your teammates is strictly responsible for it?

There are a fair few bad ones across the board. For England, there's a song that Amy Cokayne really likes that I hate, but I also think it could be too inappropriate to name. That said, at both Saracens and England the aux is only given to people who have the ability to know a good song.

If you could officially ban one rugby training drill forever, perhaps something involving freezing rain and mud, which one goes straight into the bin?

I'd just ban playing in the freezing cold and when it's raining loads. I wouldn't need a drill to tell me that. But if I was to pick a drill, it would be one that's just strictly contact.

From starting out at Tring as a five-year-old to playing in front of record-breaking crowds at Twickenham, what's the funniest or most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you during a match?

Probably when it was really windy and I decided I'd still kick it, and it went backwards. But I thought at least I showed the girls how windy it really was, so they didn't have to find out for themselves.

You've been a brilliant advocate for showing that female rugby players can be 'girly-girls' who get their lashes and nails done. Have you ever successfully negotiated your way out of a drill to save a fresh manicure?

I haven't been able to negotiate, but I have been able to be tactical with my positioning, so maybe I don't have to take as much contact as others.

If a zombie apocalypse broke out mid-tournament, which one of your England teammates are you teaming up with to survive, and who is getting eaten first?

Emma Sing. She's so smart she'd know how to kill the zombies, or just how to survive really well. Or something super niche, like a hiding spot the zombies would never look in.

You are stranded on a desert island and can only salvage three random items from your matchday kit bag. What are you taking to survive?

My headphones and my spare underwear. That'd probably end up being it, because I'm not sure I could do a lot with a kicking tee and a pair of boots.

If they made a blockbuster film about your rugby career so far, what genre would it be, and which actor would you choose to play you?

I actually don't watch many films, so the only actors I could really name would be Megan Fox or Margot Robbie. But that could be crazy.

Coming from a family of rugby players, with your dad John playing for Wales Schools and your brother Alex at Wasps, who is actually the most fiercely competitive when it comes to playing board games at Christmas?

We actually don't play many board games or cards as a family, but if we do, probably my younger brother. It's the classic thing of the younger sibling always having to win.

You have a degree in Sports Rehabilitation and Exercise. If you had to be the Red Roses' physio for a day, which of your teammates would be the absolute worst patient?

Hannah Botterman. She'd want too much attention.

If the Red Roses' starting XV were all animals, what animal would best represent your playing style on the pitch?

The smartest animal, one that has to make good decisions. Maybe a dolphin. I've heard they're smart and work together well.

Nerves are a natural part of top-flight sport. Do you have any bizarre or slightly unusual superstitions or kicking routines before you pull on the number 10 shirt?

I actually don't, because I always thought if you don't have one, then you can't forget it, and it can't go wrong. If you have one, you're setting yourself up for it to maybe go wrong, and then panic about it for the rest of the day.

If your Saracens teammates started a band, what would the band be called, who would be the lead singer, and what would your role be?

My role would be something like the triangle, or whatever could make minimal noise, because I can't say I'd be musically talented at all. Maybe something like a candlelit choir. Call ourselves the Candlelit Choir. We'd sing all sorts of new songs. Probably with no lead singer, as I don't think anyone has an outstanding voice.

Thanks to Zoe for the Q&A.
