Canadian MacKenzie Fane moves Down Under to chase rugby league dream
After competing for Canada at the Women’s Rugby League World Cup in Australia last November, MacKenzie Fane returned home and pondered her future.
The former Western Ontario Mustang rugby all-star was accepted at university to continue her studies. But rugby league was pulling at her, given the news that Australia’s National Rugby League was introducing a women’s division.
The 25-year-old from Holland Landing, Ont., returned Down Under in February to compete for Canada at the Rugby League Commonwealth Championship, a nine-a-side tournament.
Suddenly her mind was made up.
