^ now that she & her partner have a daughter (just gone or coming up to a year old, I think) she's hinted that this is her last year. Absolute rockstar of a player & NZR were set to leverage that until Covid & her injury happened. Don't be surprised, though, if her minutes are limited to key games as Hotham & Miller are given as much game time as possible to develop their games - Miller's only 18 & Hotham early 20's so they'll be the backbone of the side once the veterans retire.

It's a mental block.

Fiji are usually bigger, faster, better handlers, and great steppers in traffic. Other than that its just mental indeed.

Well Fiji never look as good against everyone else but us. We always play our worst vs them.

They have looked pretty good in the last 2 olympic gold medal games
