Parliament party for Black Ferns
A public event and celebration will be held on Parliament’s lawn on December 13 to celebrate the Rugby World Cup winning Black Ferns.
Sports Minister Grant Robertson says the Black Ferns’ triumph at Eden Park is one of New Zealand’s greatest sporting moments.
He says they are extraordinary athletes, exceptional people and proud New Zealanders who are helping to pave the way for women’s sport in Aotearoa.
He congratulated Ruahei Demant for winning Women’s 15s player of the year at the World Rugby Awards, along with Ruby Tui for winning Women’s 15s breakthrough player of the year and Wayne Smith for winning coach of the year.
