Autumn Stephens | Sport

Hello, my name is Autumn-Rain Stephens Daly. i am a passionate rugby 7s enthusiast. I am 21 years of age. I was born in a town called Rotorua, in the heart of Bay of Plenty, i still live here to this day. I am very passionate about field sports. I started off just playing touch, then moved into playing Rugby 15s in my last two years of high school, which at first was scary but then eventually became a big part of my life. In 2015 i was introduced to rugby 7s where i was asked to trial for the Bay of Plenty squad. I was fortunate enough again to make the team for the 2016/17 campaign and at first i just thought it was a good way to keep me fit and rugby smart in the off season of rugby 15s. But as the campaign went on i realised that i was more passionate than i thought. I set short term goals and dedicated alot of my time effort into this sport and making my self better than before. in the end i made the new zealand womens 7s squad to travel to japan for a tournament.this sport has made me a better person and i am truly grateful for all opportunities and achievements that have come my way. but its only just started and i am eager and dedicated to smash goals i have set for the next campaign to come
