You might know her as the former Wallaroo. You know her brother Matt as a Wallabies great. The Giteau name carries some weight around these parts, but this is about more than Test caps and Super Rugby titles. This is about "a magical experience", about pictures drawn by her daughter and kids battling rare childhood cancers.
This is about the one-off Win The Day charity jerseys the Brumbies will wear against the Fijian Drua at Canberra Stadium on Friday night.
The jerseys have been designed by kids facing struggles which put rugby into perspective, which is why you'll see a drawing of two people on the front - which Charlie Cale figures look a little like Len Ikitau and Blake Schoupp "with the big head" - with one telling the other "we won".
And you'll notice the club and sponsor logos look like they've been drawn with markers - because kids from an oncology ward had the opportunity to reimagine the Brumbies logo, and those of almost every sponsor on the club uniform.
This is where Giteau enters the conversation.
Giteau's daughter Ka'ili was diagnosed with the rare Wilms' tumour in her kidney in July 2019. She has undergone chemotherapy, radiation and a bone marrow transplant - but she still has the smile to light up a room.
The day Ka'ili relapsed in 2020, Giteau was frantically trying to find out how she could start a charity. Today, Win The Day allows donors to pay for meals and help families cover treatment costs and accommodation while travelling for treatment, while also emerging as a national leader in providing Celebration of Life grants.
"When we started the charity - I get a bit emotional, Kai'ili's going to roll her eyes - it was to create experiences for the families," Giteau said.
"When you're a family in hospital, and you're trapped in that ward, we just wanted [them], if they were able to leave that ward, to have the ultimate experience."
Then she turns to Brumbies No.8 Cale, who looks at the Brumbies logo drawn against a backdrop of Win The Day's trademark rainbow and calls it "the coolest jersey I've ever seen".
