Scarratt wins Rugby Writers' Club award
England's centre Emily Scarratt
Sydney - Arab Today
England World Cup-winner Emily Scarratt has been awarded the prestigious Rugby Union Writers' Club (RUWC) Pat Marshall Memorial Award as the sport's outstanding personality of 2014.
The 24-year-old, who can play outside centre or full-back, inspired England to glory in last year's tournament in France, scoring 16 points against Canada in the final and finishing as overall top scorer with 70 points.
She was presented with the award at a gala ceremony in central London on Monday evening. Scarratt is the second woman to win the award after England colleague Maggie Alphonsi in 2010.
"The words don't do it justice but.. Unbelievably honoured to have won the Pat Marshall award tonight (Monday)," Scarratt wrote on Twitter.
Jonny Wilkinson and Brian O'Driscoll, both of whom retired last year, were also honoured by being awarded the RUWC's Special Award for services to rugby. O'Driscoll was unable to attend the event.
