About this listen
For this one I am joined by one of the Black Ferns’ most exciting talents, Amy du Plessis. Amy’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring, from growing up in South Africa to becoming a Rugby World Cup winner with the Black ferns! Her silky skills and ability to play anywhere has made her a hugely valuable asset for NZ Rugby and now she’s now preparing to take on the world again in the 2025 Rugby World Cup!
In this episode we chat about..
* Life growing up in South Africa and why her family moved to NZ
* How she got into Rugby
* Why she travelled 5 hours a day to play for Otago
* Why her move to Canterbury was “the best thing I’ve ever done”
* Being named in the Black Ferns and working under legends Wayne Smith & Graham Henry
* Playing in front of sold-out crowds and winning the RWC
* Her love for Super Rugby and Matatū
* The build-up to the upcoming RWC and her expectations heading in
* And plenty of great advice
As you’ll hear, Amy is such a champion human, and this yarn is packed with stories, laughs and some really inspiring takeaways. This is such a cool insight into the women’s game as we look to cheer on our Black Ferns to hopefully another RWC!
