Chelsea Bremner

BIOGRAPHY

Black Fern #218

A late comer to rugby, Chelsea Bremner has cemented herself as one of the country's leading lineout forwards. The powerful lock has continued to strengthen her reputation with consistent performances for the Black Ferns, combining physicality, skill and leadership. 

A breakthrough season in 2019 saw Bremner win the Fiao'o Faamausili Medal for Farah Palmer Cup Player of the Year and she earned her spot in the New Zealand Development XV tour to Fiji where she appeared in all three games for the team further highlighting her potential at national level. 

In 2020, Bremner made her debut in the black jersey, in the domestic series against the Barbarians, she was ruled out of international duty in 2021 with injury, having to wait to make her Test debut alongside her sister (Alana) in their Pacific Four Series opener against Australia in Tauranga in 2022. Bremner was also a member of the Black Ferns Rugby World Cup 2021 and 2025 squads alongside her sister, Alana. 

Away from rugby, Bremner is a qualified teacher.
