  • Summary

  • Mel was born and raised in Southern Highlands, Papua New Guinea. Moved to Australia for educational opportunities at 14. She started her rugby journey with University of Queensland when a friend dragged her along to sign up. After three seasons of playing rugby union, a coach told her that she had the potential to play for Queensland. Two years in a row of knee injuries wasn’t going to stop her playing the sport she loved. She currently plays for the Melbourne Rebels Womens team. She is also a diehard NSW Origin fan. We chat plenty more on never giving up, having resilience especially in tough times and what living in France was like.
