New Zealand Women's National Rugby Union Team Black Ferns Black Ferns Women Rugby Player Braxton Sorensen-McGee: Braxton was at Eden Park Stadium, dressed in her black jersey holding a rugby ball. The field stretched out before her, the pitch perfectly manicured. She practiced her kicking technique, the ball spinning as it sailed through the air, landing where she had aimed it. The air was cool, the grass was still dew-stained, and the stadium was empty, save for some birds flying lazily overhead. The quiet was peaceful and allowed her to focus on her practice. She had a feeling this would be a good session.
