My Take
Hirini strikes me as the spine of a champion side rather than just a member of one. Rugby sevens is brutal, relentless collision compressed into minutes, and leading that as captain demands a temperament most athletes never develop. Coming from Feilding and studying at Massey while competing at the top tells me she values balance, not just glory. The fact that her honor under the New Zealand Order of Merit arrived alongside a name change from Goss to Hirini feels symbolic to me: a life and a career maturing together. I admire competitors whose toughness on the field mirrors a steadiness off it, and she reads exactly that way.
