Lisa Neumann: Wales wing uncertain over future after Harlequins exit

Neumann is understandingly taking her time given the sacrifices she has made, and continues to make, for rugby.

Before turning professional with Wales, the former Sale Sharks wing made an eight hour round trip from Manchester to Cardiff three times a week for training and now makes a similar journey from London.

“Every single time I think I’m going to move closer, I’m going to make it easier. I don’t know why I’ve just carried on doing it,” Neumann said.

“It is hard getting up at 4:30am, driving down and thinking ‘what am I doing to myself?'”

Asked if she would follow team mates Jasmine Joyce and Alisha Joyce in moving back to play for Welsh clubs, Neumann said it was an option for the future.

“I played for Brython Thunder a bit last year and I did really love it,” she said, “I don’t feel like I’m afraid to make any mistakes.

“But right now moving back home is a difficult decision, I’ve set up my life in London and it’s not easy to pack up.”
