Elite sportswoman 'felt like a fraud' promoting her sport while playing for nothing
By Kate O'Halloran
Recently retired rugby union player Mel Kawa regularly broke down in tears, grappling with her love of the game and the $2,000 she was paid to play it.

Before the final, my youngest son preferred the NFL to rugby. After the final, he still prefers the NFL. It was a great game for the connoisseur, but for the casual observer I don’t think the final won over many new converts 🤷♀️
It would be nice to think that, one day, rugby union will see a Portugal v Fiji final.
More cards in this game than I receive at Christmas 😜
May the best team win 🇳🇿 v 🇿🇦
Who will win the Rugby Union World Cup Final?
New Zealand 🇳🇿 or South Africa 🇿🇦
Rugby World Cup Reflections
Favourite Match: Portugal v Fiji, not the greatest quality, but great fun.
Best Play: The first half of France v South Africa, both sides were awesome.
Most Disappointed Teams: France and Ireland, both must have reckoned this was their year.
Wooden Spoon: the organisers. Who on Earth thought it was a good idea to match-up the top four teams in the quarter-finals?!?!
I don’t often watch live TV - too busy doing other things - so the volume of advertisements during the rugby World Cup came as a real culture shock. All my favourites 🏴 🇵🇹 🇫🇷 are out now, so I will leave it there. On the plus side, no more advertisements 🙂
A shame the four best teams will not be in the Rugby World Cup semi-finals.
