For sisters Teaghan Hartigan and Ebony Laing, playing for the Fiji Bulikula together in one team is a dream come true.
Hartigan, 27, who plays for the Burleigh Bears in the Queensland Rugby League Women’s Premiership, made her debut for the Bulikula in 2019.
She is joined by her 18-year-old sister Laing for the Pacific Championship Test against Samoa in Papua New Guinea this Sunday.
Hartigan said to be in the same squad as her younger sibling was a blessing.
“I was lucky enough to play for the Bulikula in 2019 and to be able to have my sister beside me is pretty special,” said the backline utility player. Laing said she was looking forward to the Test against Samoa.
“I know some of the girls in the Samoa team. They’re going to be a hard team but it is going to be fun,” the younger of the two sisters said.
The match kicks off at 2.45pm on Sunday.
