Emma Raducanu was in England camp on Tuesday as Steve Borthwick’s side rallied ahead of their All Blacks clash on Saturday. Former US Open champion Raducanu watched training alongside Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler, who was also at the base on Monday.
Raducanu chatted with skipper Maro Itoje and Marcus Smith before doing a line out drill with prop Fin Baxter. Borthwick said: “Fabian shared some of his experiences, and the importance of the team. [Emma Raducanu](https://www.express.co.uk/latest/emma-raducanu) has been to training today - it's just great having elite sports people come and visit us.
“Emma was talking to the players and sharing her experiences about preparing for the elite level of competition, which is terrific. People like her are always very welcome because we enjoy learning from others' experience.”
Baxter added: She was very good, and caught the ball. And then afterwards I was like, ‘hi Emma, I’m Fin by the way’. It was a weird way to meet her for the first time. But it was cool to have her in.
“The amount of pressure that she has to go under because of how successful she is, is definitely something we can all learn from.”
Raducanu won the US Open in 2021 but has not got past the fourth round in a major since.
