Allana Sikimeti

A rising 19-year-old prop from a working-class family in Brisbane and previously in Queensland Reds system before moving to Canberra where the Brumbies move now has her on the cusp of a Wallaroos debut. Sikimeti’s father worked FIFO (fly-in-fly-out) while her mother spent her days in aged care, a job her daughter has also taken up outside of rugby. Ex-Wallaroos assistant coach Scott Fava has played a big role in her rapid rise through the ranks.
