“Simultaneously the scariest and most embarrassing moment of my life!”
What do you get up to in your spare time?
(laughs) Spare time isn’t something I’m familiar with but I try and grab as much time in the gym as possible.
What annoys you?
When I am driving and I give way to someone but they don’t say thank you. Grrrrr!
Do you have any nicknames?
Pocket Rocket. I’m small enough to fit in your pocket and run like a rocket!
Any superstitions?
I have issues with passing someone else on the stairs or dropping salt and having to throw it over my shoulder afterwards. You don’t want to be within a 2 metre radius of me when that happens!
Who’d you like to be stuck in a lift with?
Do you think The All Blacks would fit in a lift?
If you could be one of your team-mates, who would it be?
Definitely Courtney because she always looks so stylish.
Who are the jokers at Amblers WRFC?
My entire team! It’s always a laugh a minute with them.
Do you have any hidden talents?
Well I didn’t know I would be any good at playing rugby until 12 months ago so I’d have to say that.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
Basking Robbins sundaes, they rock!
Who does the cooking at home?
Me. I do everything.
What would be your Mastermind specialist subject?
Being a good Mum.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
I’d like to be able to freeze things… I love the snow!
Most embarrassing moment?
Getting stuck on the rocks as the tide had come in around me, whilst exploring a beach in Sydney. Anyway, to cut a long story short. I had to be rescued, by a lifeguard who looked about twelve years old, in an inflatable dinghy whilst the entire beach watched. Simultaneously the scariest and most embarrassing moment of my life!
