THE REAL RUBY

She’s the talented, energetic and infectiously upbeat face of women’s rugby, but Ruby Tui’s smile belies a secret pain.
For the first time, Ruby talks publicly about the details of her incredibly tough childhood and the neglect that almost broke her.
Her suffering led to a strength and leadership that has propelled Ruby to international success and, on the cusp of the Rugby World Cup, a brave and brutally honest Ruby speaks exclusively to SUNDAY.
