My Take
What grabs me about Carla Hohepa is the quiet weight of two World Cup titles. Winning with the Black Ferns in both 2010 and 2017 means she helped carry women's rugby through years when it got far less spotlight than it deserved, and that kind of sustained excellence impresses me more than any single flashy moment. A 175 cm wing built for the corner, she also worked as a teacher, and I love that dual life: laying her body on the line on Saturdays and shaping young minds the rest of the week. To me she reads as a foundational figure, the sort whose influence you only fully measure years later.
