The Week that Was … Black Ferns ANZAC weekend & return to Level 3

Black Ferns Sevens skipper Sarah Hirini has gone very Zen during lockdown. She’s been doing yoga everyday since we were told to stay home with our bubbles.

Black Ferns and Canterbury prop Pip Love got out and about in Christchurch over the long weekend, the parks starting to look very autumnal. She said lockdown is making her appreciate the little things in each day.

Black Ferns captain Les Elder is 35 weeks pregnant and jumped at the opportunity to hop back in the sea in Mount Maunganui when the country moved back into Level 3.

Portia Woodman paid her respects on ANZAC Day, also in Mount Maunganui. She was grateful for the beautiful sunrise while she attended a special dawn service.

Renee Wickliffe has been providing us with some golden content over the last few weeks. She posted this on on day one of Level 3, as the country flooded back to their favourite takeaway joints.  

We can’t get enough of Shiray Kaka’s ‘Rookie Farming’ series. She posted her latest one on Tuesday. All we’ll say is go look at her Instagram. You won’t regret it.

Only a few weeks before lockdown, Kelly Brazier became a Mum to the adorable Oakley George. He’s been getting her through these unprecedented times.  

Theresa Fitzpatrick and Risi Pouri-Lane took on an impressive ANZAC challenge over the weekend. Running 12 miles (approx. 19.3km) in 12 hours. Have a look at how they went.

Kendra Cocksedge reposted this awesome video which was made by Black Ferns and Black Ferns Sevens videographer, Rachael Whareaitu. We so hope you guys can get back out on the field soon too Kendra!

And finally, this week, there’s been a series of posts doing the rounds on Instagram over the lockdown period. People run 5km, nominate five people to do the same and then you donate $5 to your chosen charity. Niall Williams took the challenge on, and we absolutely feel you girlfriend! 5km isn’t easy!
