'I'm fortunate to be here' - Black Fern Kendra Reynolds Demant on her 50-Test milestone
A Black Ferns veteran has reflected on reaching 50 Tests, describing herself as fortunate to still be in the black jersey.
The milestone comes during a World Cup campaign, adding weight to an occasion she said she had not allowed herself to think about until it arrived.
Teammates and coaching staff pointed to her durability and to the standards she sets in training as much as her on-field record.
She said the focus this week remains firmly on the team's next assignment.
