New Zealand Warriors
Much like their men’s team, the Warriors have been fortunate in their opportunity to sign a team mostly full of current and past Kiwi Ferns players. Through both their male and female teams, the Warriors will make history by being the first team to have mother and son play for them, with Lorina and Isaiah Papali’i.
Key Signings: Laura Mariu, Sarina Clark, Georgia Hale
Player to watch: While playing rugby league, 31 year old Masuisuimatamaalii (Sui) Tauasa-Pauaraisa is also another rugby 7s player, providing a great skill set for an already talented team.
Team List: Raquel Anderson-Pitman, Sarina Clark, Lisa Edwards, Luisa Gago, Georgia Hale, Amber Kani, Onjeurlina Leiataua, Hilda Mariu, Laura Mariu, Va’anessa Molia-Fraser, Apii Nicholls, Tanika-Jazz Noble-Bell, Annetta-Claudia Nuuausala, Lorina Papali’i, Kahurangi Peters, Krystal Rota, Aieshaleigh Smalley, Masuisuimatamaalii (Sui) Tauasa-Pauaraisa, Crystal Tamarua, Alice Vailea, Langi Veainu, Shontelle
