Amy Cocaine’s high school boasts a long line of rugby royals.
All Blacks Aaron Smith, Cody Taylor, White Rock Boys (Sam, Luke, George, Adam) and Sarah Goss, the legendary Black Ferne and Sevens, all went through the halls of Fielding High School near Palmerston North on New Zealand’s North Island.
However, cocaine is the only red rose.
She is English through English, but there was a time when her father, Ian, was recruited to the royal New Zealand Air Force, then she moved to a land of long white clouds on the radar of black ferns. It all happened in a bit of a hurry.
“I think he saw the application in a day before closing, so he rang my mother and said, “What do you think about moving to New Zealand?”

How did growing up in New Zealand shape Amy Cocaine’s career?
English rugby player Amy Cocaine talks about how her growth in New Zealand helped her rugby career and why she moved there in the first place.
“And she said, ‘Yeah, I’ll talk about it when you get home,’ he said, ‘No, I need to know now.’ So they took the plunge and within six months we were living in New Zealand. ”

Creating the stars
She didn’t know that, but the move was the beginning of the beginning of cocaine becoming one of the best prostitutes in the world.
It wasn’t long before Cocaine, a crazy rugby family, started playing sports on her own. She captained the high school team and quickly rose to the ranks with an astonishing 53-Straight victory. Manawatu from the domestic side wanted to recruit her as a teenager, so after cocaine got OK from the doctor and her body could handle it, the parents signed a waiver. She was off and running.
It was definitely the best move she’d ever made.
Thrown into the furnace of the Women’s State Championship (now Farrar Palmer Cup), cocaine received a perfect rugby education and helped make her the scary player of today.
“I’ve definitely experienced it if I wasn’t the player I’m currently in or if I hadn’t been to New Zealand,” says Cocaine. “I think it’s just the fact that I can play women’s rugby from the age of 13 when I was playing Black Ferne.”
The New Zealand selector took notes and invited her to a training camp. However, it was Britain that cocaine wanted to represent.
Family management
Just as rugby runs through cocaine veins, so does the military. Like her dad, her grandfather and brothers also have military backgrounds. When she is not appearing in the UK, cocaine can often be found at the Royal Air Force Base, which she participated in after the 2017 World Cup.
“After the loss (in the final), I thought I needed something outside of rugby,” explains Cocaine. “We weren’t professional at the time, so we thought we needed to grasp careers outside of rugby.

How does England player Amy Cocaine combine rugby and RAF?
England Rugby World Cup player Amy Cocaine talks about his career from rugby at RAF and how to balance both careers.
“I’m really happy to be in the military. I have connections with the military. If I hang my old boots, I still have a career that I can go back.”
After focusing on a new career as a RAF executive a year away from the sport, cocaine’s passion for rugby rekindled with aim at the ultimate full circle moment of World Cup victory in New Zealand.
Of course, that wasn’t the case.
Cokayne has never rewatched the final and doesn’t want it, despite winning a great hat trick. Black Ferne beat England 34-31 at Eden Park. It’s more heartbreak, but still hunger for winning.
As of United Sates’ time to the 2025 tournament opener, this is the only loss Redborough has suffered in 61 matches.
Now, Cocaine and Britain are desperate to make sure that doesn’t happen in the third straight tournament.
