BIOGRAPHY

Theresa Setefano (nee Fitzpatrick) is a powerful ball carrier with explosive speed off the mark.

After joining the Auckland Sevens programme in 2013, Setefano made her Black Ferns Sevens debut in 2016 at the Atlanta Sevens. She took time off from her medical studies to give sevens her best shot and it paid off with selection for Rio and a historic silver medal at the Olympic Games.

A regular selection in the Black Ferns Sevens, Setefano has the ability to play a number of positions and was a member of the Gold medal winning Commonwealth Games team, the Rugby World Cup Sevens champion side and the Gold medal winning side at the Tokyo Olympics 2020.

She has won two XVs World Cups with the Black Ferns.
