Summary
Black Ferns co-captain Kennedy Tukuafu is sidelined for the rest of the international season after tearing her hamstring during a Chiefs Manawa match—requiring surgery this week. A stalwart since 2019 with 39 caps and six tries, her leadership and spirit are deeply missed. Coach Whitney Hansen praised her authenticity and off-field impact, while Tukuafu remains upbeat, focused on recovery and grateful for the unwavering support from teammates, family, and fans. The Black Ferns are committed to walking her through every step of her comeback.
