'I've had difficult moments but my rugby family was always there'
Scotland rugby internationalist Emma Wassell has told how her "family" of teammates cared for her through tumour surgery months after her mother died.
The 29-year-old spent nearly two weeks in hospital after the mass was discovered last month, ruling her out of the current WXV 2 tournament.
She told BBC Scotland News that in her mother's absence, her "rugby family" devised a rota to help care for her - which included brushing her hair, feeding her and ensuring she was never alone.
“They allowed me not to ever feel in a dark place," she said. "I don't know how I would have got through it without them.”
