Ruby Tui and her excellent speech at Rugby World Cup.

When asked how the team felt after winning, Tui said: “It’s an unreal feeling. I’m just so stoked and so proud of this team.” But it was her answer to a question about the team’s haka which truly showed her class.

“It’s always been a part of our game, it’s something that we’re really proud of as New Zealanders and as Māori,” she said. “But I think today it was just about sending a message to the world that we’re here, we’re united, we’re strong and we’re proud to be who we are.”

Ruby Tui is a class act on and off the field and her latest interview is further proof of that. Coming into the final minutes of the match, the Black Ferns were trailing by three points.

However, Tui had other ideas and she produced a moment of sheer brilliance to score the match-winning try in the dying seconds. Her heroics ensured that New Zealand retained their World Cup crown and Ruby Tui was rightly hailed as a national hero.

This was not the first time that Ruby Tui had stolen the show at a Rugby World Cup. Four years earlier, she had produced a scintillating performance against England in the semi-finals. Tui scored two tries and made a number of key tackles as the Black Ferns ran out comfortable winners. Her outstanding display helped to set up a final against Australia, which the Black Ferns went on to win.

Ruby Tui is a truly world-class rugby player and her performances at the last two Rugby World Cups have cemented her reputation as one of the best players in the world.

She is an inspiration to young players all over the world and is proof that anything is possible if you believe in yourself. Ruby Tui is a New Zealand rugby legend and will go down in history as one of the greatest players to ever grace the sport.
