Women’s Six Nations 2026: England prop Maud Muir’s love for cricket and ‘boshing’ defenders

Women’s Six Nations 2026: England prop Maud Muir’s love for cricket and ‘boshing’ defenders

Known for “boshing” – a term the England forwards like to use for swatting aside defenders – Muir smiled when discussing the skill.

However, to “bosh” is what she reckons the correct terminology is.

“It is running into someone and boshing them, or tackling them and boshing them,” Muir says.

Quietly spoken and humble off the field, the former Wasps front row is a powerful athlete on it, who enjoys physical confrontation.

Given she is “too aggressive” for a return to cricket, what she does hope to do one day is have a pottery room at the back of her house, complete with a wheel and kiln – a type of oven used for hardening and drying pottery.

Leading from the front is also done on the team bus, with ‘Maud’s Tours’ now part of the team’s itinerary.

“It started last Six Nations in York. I am at the front of the bus as my little mate Lucy Packer gets travel sick,” she explained.

“I am always at the front and the mic is always there. I started with the tour of York and it has stuck since. I do forget every week that I am doing it.

“It is last minute, trying to get as many facts as I can. True or false. They could be false as Meg Jones likes to send me some stuff.”

The next destination is Parma – yet to be researched by Muir – where Italy host the world champions on Saturday.

England sit top of the Six Nations table with three bonus-point wins over Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

The 84-7 victory over Scotland was an ideal way to celebrate Muir’s 50th cap, where her father wore a kilt and an England top – another picture for her scrapbook.

“It was such a special occasion. Being at Murrayfield in Scotland made it so special for my family, especially my dad,” Muir said.

“I have photograph evidence. He is in my scrapbook.

“He had the best of both worlds. He is 77% Scottish.”

Before Saturday’s game, which will likely set up a fifth straight Grand Slam decider against France, Muir is planning to head to a local pottery centre to make a bowl for ramen.

Bowling Italian defenders out of her way will likely follow.
