Siobhan Cattigan

Siobhan Cattigan (born 11 April 1995) is a Scottish rugby player from Stirling who played in the 2021 Women's Six Nations Championship. She has played international rugby for Scotland since 2018.
Club career.
Cattigan plays for Stirling County Ladies. She began playing for the team in 2014, alongside playing for the University of Stirling team. Cattigan captained the team that won the BUCS league in the season 2016/17.
She played Inside Centre for her University and Stirling County, before moving into the back-row, usually in position 6 or 8, for both club rugby and for Scotland.
International career.
Cattigan made her international debut in the 2018 Women's Six Nations Championship in a match between Wales and Scotland, coming off the bench and into blindside flanker. The team lost out 18-17, having fought back from being 13-0 down at the break. 
She was invited to join the Scottish Rugby pathway squad in 2017 and was included in the squad that beat Spain in an uncapped fixture in November 2017.
She was part of the team that saw an away win against Ireland in the 2018 Women's Six Nations Championship - their first away win in 12 years. 
She toured with the Scottish team in South Africa in 2019, winning against the South African team in Cape Town.
Cattigan was among the Scottish team selected for the 2021 Women's Six Nations Championship and started in the first match against England in position 8, with skipper Rachel Malcolm and Rachel McLachlan either side of her. This decision from coach Bryan Easson, saw her replace Jade Konkel's usual position. He explained his decision, "“She [Cattigan] played at 8 against Spain a couple of years ago and performed extremely well. Siobhan’s always pushed Jade really hard for a starting position anyway, she brings something different." 
Personal life.
Cattigan first played rugby at the age of five for McLaren minis in her home town of Callander. The team coach was her father, who was a player at the club. He is still involved with her playing career at Stirling County Ladies. She played the sport from age five until 12, when she started at high school. She then played one season at U15s for Monklands Girls Team, based in Coatbridge but stopped playing rugby for the rest of high school and picked it back up again aged 19 at the University of Stirling. 
Cattigan studied Criminology and Sociology at the University of Stirling and is following this with a masters in Sports Psychology.
