Honey Hireme is one of the best female cross-code athletes around and it's little wonder she's picked up the nickname Honey Bill Williams.
The 31-year-old has already won two women's rugby league World Cups and on Monday morning (NZT) will hope to add a third when the Kiwi Ferns take on Australia in the final at Headingley, Leeds. Last month she also helped the New Zealand women's rugby seven team win the world championships in Moscow.
Unlike Sonny Bill Williams, however, her achievements haven't earned her great financial reward or recognition. In fact, like the rest of the Kiwi Ferns squad, she had to raise $2000 just to get to the World Cup.
Hireme teaches self-development courses in Hamilton for people with disabilities and also has a son and two stepchildren. She has to try to fit life around training twice a day - usually a gym session before work and then field training after work. She has never turned up to the wrong training by mistake but once played-the-ball during a rugby game, which drew dark stares from her coaching team.
"It's pretty full-on,'' she said with obvious understatement. ``It's taken a lot of sacrifices, not just for me but my family as well. I just have real passion for both codes and wasn't willing to give up one for the other.''
