Summary
History is being rewritten this weekend as siblings Wallace and Amarante Sititi become the first brothers and sisters in New Zealand rugby history to play for the men’s and women’s national teams on the same day—Wallace in the All Blacks’ crucial third test against South Africa, and Amarante in the Black Ferns’ match against the Springboks. The last time this happened was in 1998, with the Rush siblings. Wallace called it “crazy” they’re wearing the same jersey number and praised his sister’s rapid rise, while Amarante described the experience as surreal and a privilege. Their father, former Samoan captain Semo Sititi, flew to South Africa to watch them both, reminding them to just play their game and be themselves. It’s a historic moment for the Sititi family, showcasing their talent, dedication, and the power of sibling support.
