Courageous, calm & collected 🖤🩶 I am so extremely proud of our girls. The glee & elation on their faces celebrating lifting the trophy says it all 😭 (Sorry beautiful Grace, you’re blurry because you were jumping with joy 🥹) The mental & physical fatigue our wāhine have faced over the past 3 months has been unprecedented, but you have overcome it all with two series wins in a row, very nearly was it four! 🏆 Our starting 7 remained on court for the whole 60 minutes 👏🏽 no changes were needed - That’s how clinical we were out there today 🇳🇿 Just so proud ✨
