Black Fern #230 - World Champion

Amy Rule who hails from Riverton in Southland only started playing rugby in her last two years at Central Southland College but has quickly proved to be a talent in the front row. She plays for Matatū in the Super Rugby Aupiki competition and represents Canterbury. 

Rule moved to Christchurch for university in 2019 and cemented her place as the starting tighthead prop in the championship winning Farah Palmer Cup team before gaining selection in the Black Ferns Development team for their campaign in Fiji. 

Following a rapid rise to the professional stage, it wasn’t long before Rule made her Black Ferns Test debut in November 2021 against England in Northampton (#230). In 2022, she was part of the Black Ferns Rugby World Cup 2021 winning squad.

Amy is the second recipient of the Tania Dalton Foundation Trustees Award.
