Taylor Elizabeth Perry (born 23 July 2000) is a Canadian rugby union and rugby sevens player.

Rugby career

Perry was named in Canada's squad for the delayed 2021 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.[1][2] She was ruled out of the World Cup after she sustained a serious knee injury during training in preparation for their opening match against Japan.[3][4]

Perry signed for English club Exeter Chiefs Women in 2024, after playing 14 league matches for the club in a stint in 2020.[5][6]

Having been picked as a travelling reserve for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, Perry was drafted into the side as an injury replacement for Krissy Scurfield during the tournament.[7] The team won a silver medal, coming from 0-12 behind to defeat Australia 21-12 in the semi-finals,[8] before losing the final to New Zealand.[9][10]
