Terina Te Tamaki

Terina Lily Te Tamaki (born 1 May 1997) is a New Zealand rugby union player.

[1] Te Tamaki used to watch her elder brother play rugby for Hamilton Boys' High School and thought the sport was not for her, as it was too scary and had too much contact.

But the Girls' High coach, former Black Fern Crystal Kaua, convinced her to start the sport.

[10][11][12] She won a silver medal with the team and broke a New Zealand record held since the 1952 Summer Olympics by becoming the country's youngest female medallist.

[14] Te Tamaki was named as a travelling reserve for the Black Ferns Sevens squad to the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
