Beatrice Rigoni (born 1 August 1995) is an Italian rugby union player who plays centre and winger for Sale Sharks and Italy.
Sporting career
[edit]Beatrice Rigoni was born on 1 August 1995.[1] She began playing rugby at the age of six, alongside her brothers, for the youth team of Petrarca Rugby in Padua, Italy. She continued to play for them until she turned 12, at which point she was no longer able to take part as mixed teams were not run above that age. She then moved to Valsugana Rugby Padova where she was a member of two under-16s championship teams and was named to the adult first team. While she was still attending the Tito Livio School in Padua, she was named to the Italy women's national rugby union team for the 2014 Women's Six Nations Championship at the age of 18.[2] She made her international debut in the 12-11 defeat over Wales, the first match of the tournament for both teams.[3]
She continued to play for club and country while attending the University of Ferrara where she is studying to be a pharmacist.[4] Rigoni played for Italy at the 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup.[1] According to her biography on the Six Nations website, Rigoni is 1.70 metres (5.6 ft) tall and weighs 69 kilograms (10.9 st).[5]
Rigoni was selected in Italy's squad for the 2021 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.[6][7]
In July 2023, it was announced that Rigoni would join Sale Sharks Women for the 2023–24 Premiership Women's Rugby season.[8]
