Griffith business student Lauren Brown is this week training with the elite Australian women’s rugby sevens after getting the call to link up with the elite squad.
The 21-year-old from the Gold Coast will also be part of the Australian Development team that travels to Japan for an invitational tournament next week.
The national breakthrough capped off a top week for Lauren’s rugby sevens ambitions after the ARU named Griffith University among eight teams who will compete for the inaugural National University Sevens Series later in 2017.
“I don’t want to get too ahead of myself but it’s a fantastic opportunity,” she said.
“It’s a great chance to see what they do, how they train and just get an insight into that level.”
