In 2009, she made her international debut in both sevens and 15s, and five years later she was part of the first group of South African women to be awarded professional contracts.[1]

In 2013 she was named Springbok Women's Player of the Year,[2] and in 2022 she became South Africa's most capped player.[3] At that time, she also announced her plans to retire after the 2022 World Cup.[4]
