People who make these sorts of comments are telling you more about themselves and the social and cultural context in which they exist than they are telling you about the thing they are commenting on. I used to think that the dinosaurs had died out, but I find they are actually alive and well and commenting on social media. Is it true that dinosaurs have small brains? I wonder ... @KatMerchant spotted you at Sarries yesterday, but saw you were too busy to chat, otherwise I would have made the above observations in person. Good luck!

So amazing to listen to

you lot would get smashed by boys under 17 teams.... womens rugby need a point of difference to be successful.

Four Yorkshirewomen time here "ee it were tough in my day"!

That clip of you pirouetting to stay in-field is seen in a compilation by loads of Americans!

Benefits of roids you mean

You either trans or take steroids

Proper good form Kat. Keep the content up

Great video, Kat! I think healthy eating is getting harder, whilst there is lots of good food on the shelves, and information is easier to get hold of. We're still being force fed over-processed junk. Hopefully videos like this will help educate people!

kudos to you!!

Good video! I like your energy :)

Brilliant video

I'm always interested in what athletes eat to achieve muscle growth and peak performance. And the strategies used to allow yourself to enjoy cheat meals which keeps you on your calorie programme.

Love the daft pet voice!

Kat, that photo from 2020 is hard to view, but your body was still hanging on to your muscles, which is amazing.

We need much more strong female role models just like you. Not aware of that then, but I missed that, when I was young. Keep going. 💯🤍

Don't be lazy. Say the complete word 10 kilos. Kilos kilos. Say it with me. KILOS

everyone has a good knee and a bad knee after 30

Nobody cares about you online. Stop lying to yourself.

Your peak female muscular size for your frame so imo you ain’t on any gear and who cares what others think…the internet is horrid place online you keep doing you! most guys feel threatened cause they are weak in real life

Sakura from danganronpa headass. It's a compliment

Glad for you. Being a mutant isn't something anyone can do. Being a litteral 1 in a billion isnt a roal model. It is a side show. Your hormones are messed up i guarantee it by nature or needle. While your own children are likely not in your future i hope you can be happy. Don't act like people thinking your a man is wierd. You have very masculine features. If you didnt want attention you wouldn't post. This just feeds the troll.

You look amazing, jealousy is a curse. Keep doing what you're doing. You are beautiful 👍

You are very cute and feminine. It's also really cool that you don't let yourself be offended and enjoy life❤

You've mentioned that you train with weights four days per week covering every body part each time. How does this routine fit into that schedule or is it used just to prioritise leg growth?

Greetings, if You don't mine, do You have some Home workout like this?

Reps?

Heavy free weight squats for me

Ever thought of being an actress? With your amazing physique, looks and presence you would make a great Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones and enhance your diet and fitness business at the same time! However Rugby couldn't afford to lose your services. Not meaning to be patronising but you are a wonderful woman and a credit in all you do. 44 tries in the 14 shirt, thats some achievement! Can anyone guess whether I'm a fan?!😊And oh those trolls that bile hate towards you. . Pathetic morons, just jealous of your achievements.

Incredibly honest and inspiring video for many. Look amazing.

I really struggle to understand this. On many levels. First; maybe foremost - you are very obviously very feminine. The rest lives in their heads not yours.

London is so overpriced. As long as you happy in the apartment that all it matters is

Wow quite a bit of negativity just for someone showing what their apartment looks like for that price. Way out of my pay packet but the cost of housing in London is just astranomical. So what if you can afford to live somewhere that you actually like. Good on you I say. Looks really nice

The ONLY important thing is whether YOU are OK with how you look and feel! If anyone (and obviously there are many - idiots!) has a problem with that then that is entirely their issue. Having people like you (i.e. in the light of 'fame') who suffer this abuse deal with it in the way that you do is heartening and deserving of loads of praise. Keep up the good work (all of it!) and don't let the bastards grind you down! Incidentally I think you look great - and clearly you deserve it for all the work you obviously put into it. Hugs'n'smiles!

You are kind of sexy

London is a complete rip off. Not your fault but you defo don't get value for money.

£40,800 a year. That's more than the UK average salary. I'm not one to complain about successful people, it's great you can afford this. But £40,800 for a 2 bed is daylight robbery and the fact people like you (not trying to cause offence) can just pay that much without worrying about it. Ugh it's disgusting. There are so many complicated reasons for the housing crisis in London, and I'm not saying you are the problem, I'm just saying this is a totally unrealistic lifestyle for anyone who isn't obscenely wealthy.

Kat, don't give these trolls/muppets the time of day. You have achieved more in 2 careers, than they will ever achieve in their sad lives. Keep on working out and becoming a strong, athletic, ripped female!! Any bloke who feels the need to abuse you for your body shape is an idiot!!

I’m sorry you are facing such hate. No one deserves that - be strong & carry on 💪

Those trolls would never say anything to your face though... they're just pathetic people with nothing better to do

As a fan of women’s rugby I constantly see “people” taking time out of their day to put others down, whether that involves women looking “masculine” or dismissing the product as less impressive than the men’s game, or just blatant homophobia. It saddens me these people exist and have nothing better to do with their time. I’ve sometimes called them out on it but it’s often just a waste of time arguing with an idiot, so now I just out them as a troll and move on - because to me that shows their opinion doesn’t matter. As a father of 2 young girls it’s important to me for them to see strong women in all walks of life and give them confidence to be whoever they want to be irrespective of the opinions of some idiots online. Thanks for being one of those role models and just keep smashing it 🌹

Commenting for the algorithm. Unsure why your views and subscriptions are low! I hope you blow up! You have a great attitude!

Great video..

3400 a month for a tasteless white box in east london? No thanks. I suppose the communal facilities look decent though.

Honestly, where do people find the time for this, they need to get a life! Start training maybe?

The manly comment, apart from being insulting, makes zero logical sense. Unless you have a limited intellectual capability or are brainwashed you can look the way that you do because of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. Women have always had the capability for development they've just lacked the opportunities. So, if you have always had the physical DNA for muscular growth how is that manly?

Thanks for making this video. My 11yo plays a lot of hockey & has started getting insecure about the fact that as she’s playing more it’s changing the way things like her legs look. It’s been sad to hear because she’s put a lot of work into improving & trying to move up through her schools teams & was rightly really proud of herself. I was vaguely aware that body image affects girls participation in sports but it came as a shock to hear it at such a young age & to hear how genuinely it worried her.

Not only are these types unpleasant, but I'd like to think they have no taste...🤣😉🥰
