NRL great Scott Prince has thrown his support behind teenage phenom Shalom Sauaso pursuing multiple rugby codes, until the rival sports attain full-time professionalism. The 17-year-old is in a tug of war for her services, as she prepares to play for the Queensland Reds in the Super Rugby Women’s semi-final on Sunday before launching her NRLW career at the Brisbane Broncos. Sauaso has also been on rugby sevens radar, having been named the 2023 Global Youth Sevens’ most valuable player. By the time of the Brisbane 2032 Olympics, she will be approaching her prime. But her NRLW coach Prince gave her his blessing to continue juggling the codes.
