"If coaching is the journey I go into, it would be incredible to come back and coach a country in some capacity.

"I feel like I'm at the very start of my coaching career. I haven't dedicated enough time to honing and developing those coaching skills. I think that's what excites me about the next challenge."

England will be looking for a new head coach after the Six Nations when Simon Middleton steps down from a role he has held since 2015 - but Hunter says that person will not be her: "It would be a nightmare coaching this lot!"

Daley-McLean: Hunter an 'all-time great'​

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.
