Melanie Kawa: PNG rugby union star makes brunch club confessions
Melanie Kawa lives and breathes rugby union.
You may recognise her from her time playing on the field when she was captain of the Papua New Guinea Palais women's seven team or when she was representing the Melbourne Rebels.
Melanie was also the first Papuan woman to ever play professional rugby in France for the Montpellier Hérault rugby club.
Today she sits on the board of directors for Rugby Victoria in Australia.
Melanie's list of achievements and success as a result of her passion and drive for the sport continues off the field. Melanie is working with the next generation of rugby womens players, continuing to build upon the matriarchal legacy she forged back in her club-rugby days.
