BIOGRAPHY

Black Fern #233

Originally hailing from Gisborne, Kaipo Olsen-Baker has been touted for high honours for some time. A school-girl star in both sevens and XVs for Manukura School, Olsen-Baker is explosive, strong over the ball and has great footwork.

Returning from injury, she was a stand-out performer in Sky Super Rugby Aupiki for Hurricanes Poua in 2022. Olsen-Baker debuted for the Black Ferns later that year against Australia in the Pacific Four Series in Tauranga.

Having missed the Rugby World Cup through injury, Olsen-Baker returned with a strong Bunnings Warehouse Farah Palmer Cup campaign for Manawatū in 2023 and shifted south to Christchurch to kick-off her 2024 Sky Super Rugby Aupiki season with Matatū. The move paid dividends and earnt her selection in the Black Ferns once again.
