Career

Born on 27 June 1989 in Ascot, Berkshire, Elinor Snowsill studied psychology at Loughborough University.[1][2] Snowsill went on to captain the Wales women's national under-20 rugby union team, before making her debut as a fly-half for the senior team in 2009 against Sweden. Outside of internationals, Snowsill plays for Bristol Ladies and Newport Gwent Dragons.[1] She made her Women's Rugby World Cup debut in 2010.[3] She became known on social media alongside fellow Bristol player, and England women's player, Amber Reed for a trick shot where two rugby balls are placed on top of each other with Reed kicking the bottom one while Snowsill volleys the other as it is flicked into the air at the same time.[4]

She set up healthy food company Onest Food in 2014, continuing in her rugby career while running the business. Snowsill started Onest by operating food vans outside gyms, but expanded to delivery following a conversation with a friend who was looking for a healthy eating plan and wanted the food delivered. She specifically sought out those business models in order to ensure that she did not have to work on weekends so as to leave time to play rugby.[2] Her signature dish uses an omelette style egg as a wrap.[3]
