This week Lachie is joined by Australian Rugby 7s star Demi Kennewell for an honest, funny and wide-ranging conversation about her incredible journey in rugby.
Demi opens up about her recent retirement from Rugby 7s, picking up the sport at just 16 years old and somehow making her Australian debut only a year later. She also reflects on the challenges she faced throughout her career, including suffering two ACL injuries within just five months of each other and the long road back from both.
We also get into some of the lighter side of Demi’s personality, including who she absolutely would NOT want to be stuck on a road trip with, some of the characters she’s played alongside, and plenty more stories from her time representing Australia.
From discovering Rugby 7s at 16 to playing for her country at 17 and navigating some serious setbacks along the way, Demi looks back on a career that came together incredibly quickly and opens up about what comes next.
A great chat with one of Australian rugby’s most exciting athletes.
