Despite being included in the Black Ferns sevens squad, new recruit Montessa Tairakena is level headed about her chances of getting onto the field too soon
16 January 2019
The 18-year-old has been called into the squad for 2019, with coach Allan Bunting admitting her selection is with an eye to the future.
Tairakena knows she has a lot to learn from her new teammates, and is realistic about her chances of playing at the 'Fast Four' invitational later this month in her hometown of Hamilton.
She says obviously she wants to play, but she's only been with the side for a couple of weeks so she's in no rush to get out there.
