Black Ferns flanker Kendra Reynolds has paid a visit to her old school, Te Puke Intermediate, as part of a team community event ahead of their Pacific Four Series Test match against Australia in Tauranga Domain on Monday.
The Black Ferns are in Tauranga preparing for their first test on home soil in almost three years. They take on Australia at the Tauranga Domain on Monday June 6 at 2.45pm.
In a Youtube video Kendra takes viewers on a visit to her old classroom, where students asked her questions about her role models and values.
"My role model in life was definitely my mum," says Kendra. "Epic human."
Kendra says her mother used to drive her to every training session.
"She showed me what it's like to be a good human."
She loves being a full time rugby player, telling the class about the exciting nature of that.
