Sevens star off to Warriors

Black Ferns Sevens star Michaela Blyde is jumping codes.

Blyde will join the New Zealand Warriors in time for the club’s return to the NRLW next year.

The 28-year-old speedster, who joins the Warriors on a one-year deal, was World Rugby women’s sevens player of the year in 2017 and 2018, and won gold with the Black Ferns at the 2021 and 2024 Olympic Games.
