Hannah made her full international debut for Scotland against France in the 2013 Six Nations and has played internationally for Scotland regularly since then.
She was selected for the Scotland Women 7s squad ahead of the 2017 Rugby Europe Women's Sevens Trophy. During the series, Scotland defeated Ireland 26-14 and Smith finished top of the DHL Performance Tracker for the tournament.
In the 2020 Women's Six Nations Championship, she played in Scotland's opening match against Ireland but was forced to withdraw for the following matches due to a shoulder injury.
She was part of the squad for the 2021 Women's Six Nations Championship, and scored Scotland's try in the defeat to England; its first try against England in three years. However, she did not play in all the subsequent matches in order to continue her training for the GB Sevens team for the postponed 2020 Tokyo Olympics .

In an interview with Sky Sports in April 2021, she spoke of the GB team's disappointment at the postponement of the championship, when interviewed about their disrupted training regime

Higgs Leathers was established over 130 years ago in 1888 by the late James William Higgs and his wife Rose. The shop was originally opened in Forest Gate, London and has remained a family business ever since. The children Dennis, Hildred and Babs carried on trading in Forest Gate, Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex and Regent Street, London. In 1969 we opened a retail shop in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Today, the business is exclusively online and is still run by his grandson, Jack and Jack's wife Rosamund, together with a small group of helpful staff.
