And this week they will find themselves in the bright lights of being beamed around Australia through the www.couriermail.com.au streaming service, something family and friends near and far are sure to enjoy.
“It is so different – the gym facilities, everything given to us and I thought ‘wow’. I have never been in a area where you have access to gyms and stuff like this for young girl players,’’ Tuitaalili said.
“It was good to come here to a place where the girls get the same opportunities as the boys do.’’
Ngatupuna added: “I wanted to try something different from union, try league.
“A lady recommended this school and said it was one of the best schools and would help me achieve.
“It has been really professional. There have been lots of opportunities and new stuff that I have been exposed to.
“It is really well drilled and the school really cares about us. It gave me a hold new feeling of pride.’’
The girls, both from Wellington at the bottom of New Zealand’s North Island, heaped praise on Marsden’s coaches, particularly Cobe-Jane Morgan and Keeown Rawnsley.
“Ms Morgan has been help us so much and Ms Rawnsley is such an inspirational speaker and she gets us to a limited where we want to put in at training.
“We have the best coaching and I feel like I have improved as a player because of all the coaching I have had at this school.’’
