Taranaki halfback Kendra Cocksedge started playing rugby as a four year old and retired after last month's Black Ferns' win against England - her third victorious World Cup. Her successes are many: she holds the record for the most first class points in women's rugby, with 1378 in 148 games - she was the first, and so far only player to pass 1000 points. She's the most-capped Black Fern; World Rugby Women's Player of the Year in 2015 and in 2018 became the first female player to win the Kel Tremain Memorial Trophy for New Zealand Rugby Player of the Year. She joins Kathryn to talk about how it was a cricket scholarship that would kick off her professional rugby career.
