Welcome back to “A Cuppa and A Yarn” brought to you by the New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council. Our guest this week is a woman who’s one of the brightest stars in Australian Rugby.

Mahalia Murphy is lightning fast, and that speed and strength has seen her transition from athletics to rugby league and then rugby union, where she’s represented Australia in both 7s and 15s around the world.

One of her favourite tournaments, the Ella 7s will be played in Dubbo this week and NSWALC is proud to be a sponsor of such a significant event.

Mahalia tells host Michelle Aleksandrovics-Lovegrove that although her Waratah commitments will keep her away this year, she’s happy that the event is going from strength to strength.
