While the Sevens shine in Vancouver, the 15s Black Ferns under Whitney Hansen continue their build-up. The recent February training camp (41 players) and upcoming Pacific Four Series in the USA (April 2026) mean the pathway between formats is stronger than ever. The new Collective Agreement (2026–2028) also brings better fees and conditions for both Sevens and 15s players.
