Georgia Ponsonby: New Zealand hooker joins Trailfinders for 2025-26

Trailfinders Women have signed New Zealand international Georgia Ponsonby for the 2025-26 Premiership Women’s Rugby season.

The hooker has 31 caps for the Black Ferns and was part of the team that won the Rugby World Cup in 2022.

Ponsonby links up with New Zealand team-mate Alana Borland, whose signing for the west London club was confirmed in June.

Trailfinders head coach Barney Maddison said Ponsonby, 25, was a “world-class” player.

“She’s a proven high performer whose experience with the Black Ferns will add some real value to the group,” he said.
