BIOGRAPHY

Black Fern #235

Ruby Tui needs little introduction but is selected for the Black Ferns for the first time in 2022. One of the world’s leading sevens players, Tui played the XVs game at the start of her career before joining the Ponsonby Fillies in 2020 and going on to be top try scorer in the Farah Palmer Cup for Counties Manukau.

Tui made her Black Ferns debut in the 2022 Pacific Four Series against the Wallaroos in Tauranga.

She starred in her second Test for the Black Ferns, scoring two tries against Canada in the Pac4 Series. Tui was a key member of the Black Ferns Rugby World Cup 2021 squad and went viral for her rendition of 'Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi' following the 34-31 final victory over England.
