Wallaroo Siokapesi Palu has Samoan and Tongan blood and she's somehow lived with both feet in both camps, embracing her culture while still having pride in representing Australia. Having only picked up Rugby Union in 2020, Palu was crowned the best Super W player of 2024 and captained the Wallaroos during their recent successful WXV campaign.  We hear about her Dad's initial hesitancy in playing rugby, Palu's emotional Wallaroo debut vs NZ and some funny stories about trips to the islands and moving from New Zealand to Australia. Oh and did she marry a Tongan or Samoan - you'll have to find out.
