Former England World Cup-winning captain Katy Daley-McLean on Sarah Hunter:
"Sarah has had by far one of the most amazing careers and the fact she's retired on her own terms is everything you could wish for. She's a brilliant person and brilliant rugby player.
"What she's done for the game - she's put the women's game on the map - yes, it's because of how good she is at rugby and the talent she brings on the pitch, but it's also because of the type of person she is.
"She's the first person to come out and speak to people. She's always the last in if there's things need signing and talking to the crowds.
"We got capped together in 2007, and she's played continuously ever since. You can't underestimate how strong-willed she is, because she's had some nasty injuries within that as well.
"When you look at leaders and what makes them great, it's great when they're winning things, but what you see of them when they're losing is a real testament to the person they are.
"You look at some of the interviews that Sarah has done when she's lost her World Cup finals and how brilliantly and eloquently she's spoken. For me, that's what makes her an all-time great."
