    SO EXCITED TO SEE HOW SHE DOES ON THE RUGBY 15s FIELD

      I hope she can transition to centre or number eight. Obviously she'd be a fine winger but with a frame like that it'd be awesome to see her deliver some big hits.

    I hope she gets good at rucking. One of the things I love about the women's game is the rucking is more amateur. It won't be long before it gets ruined by becoming more professional. Rucking should be about getting stuck in not standing off.

    How can someone be the biggest star when they've only done the Olympics and 7's? She's done well but let's not go overboard.

      She's re-written the script on how to promote rugby.

      @w0033944 Fair point but how many rugby fans would recognise her if they saw her in the street.
      She needs to have at least 4 or 5 15's World Cup highlights before being considered a big star.

      @@w0033944 Fair enough but that's like saying she's the number 1 guy in the NFL. No-one watches the NFL nor knows any of their players.
      Unfortunately recognition comes from 15's World Cup performances.
