"I was living my dream. Everything changed." Abi Burton's Remarkable return

Abi Burton's rugby career got off to a flying start, becoming a regular fixture for England squad on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series and an Olympian for Team GB by the age of 21.

But after intensive treatment and three weeks in a coma, Abi is back training with the GB squad with her sights set on returning to the Sevens Series and Paris 2024.
