### England Captain Meg Jones Calls for Fertility Support

Meg Jones, captain of the England women's rugby union team, wants Red Roses players to have access to fertility support and egg freezing. Speaking to BBC Sport, Jones said: "Why should my opportunity to have a family be taken away from me because I want to pursue my career?"

Jones revealed she has already started her fertility journey with her fiancee after visiting a clinic to have their egg count checked. The 29-year-old says that she's an "open book" on some subjects and wants to "share her journey" as she discusses both her upcoming wedding and family planning with equal comfort.

The Red Roses are considered to have one of the best maternity policies in international women's sport, with two World Cup winners having recently given birth and two more expecting. When approached about providing fertility packages for England players, a Rugby Football Union (RFU) spokesperson said: "We work hard to support players in the decisions they make around fertility and family planning and are proud to have been at the forefront of industry-leading support in this area."

While there is no specific policy around financial compensation for fertility treatment for England players, it is understood there are ongoing discussions at the RFU and it could be introduced in the future. Players are currently entitled to a week of paid leave per treatment cycle for treatment and appointments.
