MRC's International Siblings
Harriet Millar-Mills plays for England Women, Bridget represented Scotland and now Eliot is capped for England Counties - but it all started here!
England Rugby have recently featured an article on the remarkable story of the Millar-Mills family. When he ran out to play for England Counties in Calgary on Wednesday 8th June, prop Elliot Millar-Mills was not only about to make his first cap but also become the third child in the family to receive international honours.
Elliot has now followed in the footsteps of sisters Harriet, current back row for England Women, and Bridget who represented Scotland.
While all three siblings have now experienced representing their country on the international stage, community club Manchester RFC was where it all began.
“Our mum made our dad take me down to the club when I was eight,” says Elliot, who is a year younger than Harriet.
“About three months later Harriet came down to start watching me play and I think she started nagging my dad to join in.”
Harriet’s remembers a similar version of events. “I used to keep running around and passing the ball to my dad while he was trying to watch Elliot play, I think I was being quite annoying!”
Soon after, Harriet joined the club herself, initially playing alongside Elliot before moving up the age-groups to play with Bridget in the club’s girls team.
