Coco Sports Talk with Penina and Ashley - covering all things sports from a Pasifika female lens!

#CocoSportsTalk looks at the many stories of Pasifika people involved in sports of all kinds, and the trials and tribulations of the talented athletes from all sectors of our community. This episode we meet a few of the Pasifika women playing in the Pac4 Series as a build up to the Rugby World Cup in October here in New Zealand.

We talk to the most capped Wallaroo Liz Patu about her historic achievement & the journey to get there plus some of the younger Pasifika Wallaroos girls.
