Listening to Up-and-Comer Alysia Lefau-Fakaosilea


As you hopefully know, the first ever Super W competition is kicking off this Saturday! Building on the excitement of winning the Global 10s competition several weeks ago, the Queensland Women’s XV team have been working hard to put their best foot forward this weekend (4pm Saturday, March 10th at Suncorp!)

Alysia is the youngest player in the Reds squad, but you wouldn’t know it, just looking at the way she plays rugby. She is a player to watch this season for sure. Thanks Alysia for taking time to chat this week!

Hi Alysia, There’s a lot happening for you at the moment. Nice of you to take time to catch up.

How are you finding pre-season at the moment?

I’m finding it really good. The girls are going good at the moment. We’ve just been building from each training.

What are you looking forward to most about Saturday’s game?

Just playing off the girls experience, and probably another crowd like 10s. The atmosphere!

What are you enjoying the most about playing for Queensland?

Just playing with the more experienced girls. The culture as well.

How old were you when you started playing?

I was 14 years old.

What do you think it was that drew you to play at first?

It was the contact - and the environment as well.

What are your personal goals this year?

Just to build more with the game, I’m still trying to learn more about it… To become a center (I’m a winger at the moment.) Also, I’m trying to make the Wallaroos!

Well, there are many supporters cheering you and the team on. I wish you well this season, not just in rugby, but off the field as well!

Thank you!
