With 23 USA caps to her name, Olympian Ramsey had a knockout season that saw her transition into the scrumhalf position for the USA Women’s Eagles adding another string to her lighting speed bow.
Ramsey’s relentless work rate on both sides of the ball, pairing her speed and rugby IQ to both score tries and track down attackers on defense, caught the attention of World Rugby putting her in strong company alongside the 6 other Dream Team athletes.
