Kristy is the latest member of the Giteau family to be filmed by Total Rugby playing for Australia
Australia's women's team the Wallaroos were crowned inaugural Rugby World Cup Sevens champions earlier this year, after beating New Zealand in the first ever final, in Dubai.

More recently they travelled to Samoa bidding to qualify for next year's Women's Rugby World Cup in England and took with them their most recent debutante, Kristy Giteau.

Total Rugby caught up with the latest Wallaroo and spoke with her..

Kristy on.. brother Matt

"He's very supportive. I think he must have found out from my parents yesterday that I made the actual run-on team, so he sent me a text saying how awesome it is and just to soak it up and get a better debut than his first debut. I said that won't be hard bro, your first three balls were over the sidelines..."

Kristy on.. herrugby career, following international stints in rugby league and basketball..

"There are a lot of skills that I really need to develop within this sport. I think with basketball I've got my skills at a comfortable level where I am not choosing to challenge myself any more, so I think with rugby I know there are so many elements of my game that need development."

Kristy on..touring with the Wallaroos

"I love Samoa, it's really friendly, they are really relaxed people. It's a beautiful climate - I mean adjusting from Canberra where the girls were all in their hoodies and tracksuits and skins and coming to Samoa - but the people are incredibly hospitable. I like the lifestyle in terms of how laid back it is. Hopefully my boss will be accepting of me when I am a bit more relaxed going to back work after Samoa."

We also hear from Matt and Kristy's mother and father, Julie and Ron, and have highlights of the match against Samoa.
