Wales forward Georgia Evans will not forget 2026 - having won a league title, got engaged, bought a house and started the process of having a family.

Evans and Botterman may be on opposing sides for club and country, but together they make the perfect team. Evans said "it's amazing" to support her fiancee and see the success she has with England, who are on a 39-Test winning streak. "Obviously it makes me a little bit jealous at times, but she's also been through the troubles of injury and rehab," said Evans, who was in the Salford crowd on Saturday to watch Botterman make her comeback in England's victory over Australia.

Speaking about their IVF journey, Evans revealed Botterman had undergone pre-scans that left her "terribly surprised." "It's a bit of an eye opener, all the things you have to go through and put in place," added Evans. "Unfortunately it's not a happy accident that just happens for us, but it's something that we've looked into for the future."

The couple praised the support from their unions, citing Alisha and wife Jaz Joyce, who became the first couple to have a baby in Wales' camp. Evans confirmed any potential children would "be wearing a Welsh shirt for sure."
