Kelly Brazier

After several successful sevens campaigns, Brazier returned to the Black Ferns in 2016 for the first time since 2014, when she handled kicking duties in all five World Cup matches.

Following the 2017 International Women's Rugby Series, Brazier was third on the Black Ferns’ all-time points scorers list behind Vanessa Cootes (215) and Tammi Wilson (196). She brings a massive step and solid boot to the Black Ferns squad as well as the speed that saw her first debut for the Black Ferns Sevens squad in 2012.

A skilled exponent of the short form of the game, Brazier has been part of teams that have secured the Sevens World Cup in Moscow and a historic silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
