The Australian Women’s Sevens team have made history at Rio, defeating New Zealand to become the first ever team to win a women’s rugby gold medal.
Just a couple of months ago they became the first Aussie team – men’s or women’s – to win a world championship in the sport.
And is my boyfriend (Australian Men’s Sevens player Lewis Holland) impressed with our World Championship win? Well, he’s very proud of not just me, but of all the girls. He’s seen how far we’ve all come.
And yes, he’s very supportive, but I do think he could have put up an Instagram post congratulating us on the win. I mean, we are world champions now – I think we deserve a post!
