Of Ngāti Kahungunu Maori descent, Sarah Hirini is passionate about helping young women reach their full potential and actively supports the development of women's sport, including women's rugby. A member of the New Zealand Rugby Players' Association and a holder of a Bachelor of Arts degree, she loves surfing and spending time outdoors with her husband, Connor, and their dog, Booker. One of the most respected and feared figures in rugby, Sarah has built unwavering trust through her exceptional leadership skills, backed by hard work and humility, as captain of the Black Ferns Sevens.

 Since 2013, when she became New Zealand's first professionally-contracted female rugby player, Sarah Hirini has exuded a powerful presence. In 2019, she became the first player in the history of the World Rugby Sevens Series (women's) to play 200 test matches, and the first woman to win the Tom French Memorial Māori Player of the Year award at the New Zealand Rugby Awards. She has also made a name for herself by being nominated four times for the World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year award. In 2019, Sarah Hirini was appointed to the New Zealand Order of Merit in the Queen's Birthday Honours in recognition of her outstanding contributions to rugby.

In September 2022, all eyes will be on Cape Town for the fourth Rugby World Cup Sevens. The Black Ferns Sevens will be competing against a select group of players from 15 of the world's best nations in a three-day, fierce battle to defend the trophy they won at the San Francisco tournament four years ago. Rugby sevens, with a small number of players on a full-sized rugby field, allows players to fully demonstrate their determination, hunger, high level of skill and speed.

 A month later, after a one-year postponement, the Rugby World Cup 2021 will return to New Zealand for the first time, where the vastly experienced Black Ferns will be seeking an unprecedented sixth title. Rugby's traditional format, featuring 15 players competing for territory, will showcase the sheer power and organization of the game. These tournaments will not only showcase the world's best athletes, but also celebrate rugby's strong female following and, most importantly, inspire the next generation of athletes.
