Exciting times ahead for England’s Maro Itoje as he prepares to earn his 100th cap against Ireland! 🎉 The 6ft 6in powerhouse, who debuted 10 years ago, has helped England snag three Six Nations titles, including the unforgettable 2016 Grand Slam. Over the years, Maro’s prowess has been crucial in sealing victories for Saracens too, with five Premierships and three Champions Cup titles under his belt. 🏆
This milestone comes with mixed emotions for Maro. While his wife Mimi plans to cheer him on from the sidelines at Twickenham, his beloved mother, Florence, will be there in spirit, having passed away last December. Maro has fondly spoken of her as “the glue and heartbeat” of their family. Her absence is deeply felt, yet he believes she’ll be rooting for him from above.❤️
Maro and Mimi’s love story is straight out of a rom-com! 🎥❤️ The duo connected over a modelling shoot and tied the knot last year. Their beautiful journey took them from a stunning proposal in Ghana and Nigeria to an epic wedding bash in London. Mimi, a model, painter, and forensic accountant, is just getting acquainted with the world of rugby, admitting she’s learning the ropes day by day.
Join us as we cheer for Maro in this grand milestone of his career! Who else is tuning in to witness history this Saturday? 🏉🇬🇧
