Her spatial awareness and speed off the mark is really something to behold. Athletics has certainly given her the edge. Great watching this incredible athlete in action.

[@peter2qg]

What a great attitude. I coach U14s girls rugby in the UK and it’s amazing to see how the girls and women’s game is growing. Having positive role models like this is fantastic, even though she is a Kiwi..🤣😉

It is very, very hard to pick a favourite amongst a great team of consummate sportswomen but my heart leaps when Michaela picks the gap and puts the hammer down, there is something magical to watch. Finesse, acceleration, sheer speed, determination. Portia is more dominant, more present, simply imposing so you just expect her to score, again. Sarah is a workhorse, nothing flash until she forgets she is a forward when she sprints the length of the field, and you go, what was that! So much talent in the team. There is something special with this team.

❤black Ferns, New Zealand 🇳🇿 , really raised the bar for rugby 🌎🌏🌍 🏉

[@ChurBro451]

Just 1 word to describe her, " LEGEND "

[@kiwiboy538]

Her step speed and strength reminds me of my all time favorite all black fullback Christian Cullen

[@nimblegoat]

I really like her total focus, she concentrates right to when the try is score , no showboating , relaxing and dropping the ball

[@SoldierD]

The Woman is an absolute genius, I would say that any team facing her would panic before the kick off. Her speed, quick direction change and acceleration is nothing less than outstanding. However she does have great support from everyone in the team, Porsche and Stacey do a great job on the other wing, but Michaela inspires every time she gets the ball or runs down an opponent. This team is always brilliant to watch, no matter who is playing.

O exemplo está em casa: ela faz tudo o que infelizmente a mãe não pode fazer e faz valer a pena tudo que a mãe sacrificou por ela. Jogadora enorme.
