Email Agent of Maggie Alphonsi

Maggie Alphonsi is one of the most respected names in international rugby, renowned for her powerful presence both on and off the pitch. Earning 74 caps for England, she scored 28 tries and was a crucial part of the squad that won the 2014 Rugby World Cup. Over her 11-year international career, she played a vital role in securing seven Six Nations titles. Since retiring, Maggie has become a leading voice in sports commentary and is highly sought after as a keynote speaker by major global organisations.

Maggie Alphonsi’s credentials in the rugby and sports industry are rooted in a remarkable career as an elite athlete and influential leader. A flanker for Saracens from 2003, she went on to have an 11-year tenure with England’s national team. Beyond her playing career, she made history in 2016 by becoming the first England Women’s player elected to the Rugby Football Union’s Council, a significant step for representation in the sport.

With a passion for promoting inclusivity and empowering women in sport, she became Director of the Vitality Champions Programme in 2018. Maggie’s extensive media presence and work with grassroots organisations have solidified her reputation as an ambassador for rugby and a mentor for future generations. Her academic achievements and commitment to coaching have enabled her to influence policy and culture in traditionally male-dominated areas of sport.

Maggie Alphonsi published her autobiography ‘Winning the Fight’ in 2023, offering insight into her personal and professional journey. She is a familiar voice and face in sports media, appearing as a commentator for Sky Sports, BT Sport and the BBC. Maggie has also written as a columnist for The Telegraph and contributed to rugby analysis across television and radio platforms.

Maggie Alphonsi is booked as a rugby speaker for her unique ability to blend elite athletic experience with inspiring leadership. As a World Cup winner, Hall of Fame inductee and recipient of an MBE for Services to Rugby, she brings authority and authenticity to every stage she steps onto. Her pioneering role as the first woman to commentate on men’s international rugby and her historic election to the RFU Council showcase her trailblazing impact. Corporates value her insight into performance, resilience and teamwork, while audiences appreciate her powerful storytelling. Maggie’s keynote talks are enriched by her ambassadorial roles with organisations such as Peace One Day and Sporting Equals.
