Which rugby player do you first remember being inspired by? Growing up in Dubai we watched a lot of sevens so I got a lot of inspiration from the Black Ferns Sevens team especially the likes of Ruby Tui and Portia Woodman-Wickliffe.

What does rugby mean to you? Rugby means a lot to me and has done from a young age. It is very big in my family and it is something that we all bond on and enjoy watching or playing. It also means a lot to me as my grandpa always believed that I could do well in the sport. So a lot of the time I am doing it for him and the rest of my family.
