AUSTRALIAN rugby gold medallist Charlotte Caslick has sent an inspirational message to a Southern Suburbs player encouraging her to stick with the sport.
Grace Bridge, 12, will spend next year on the sidelines after being told she is too old to continue playing in a boy’s team and too young for the senior women’s league.
But her belief has been restored after the Southern Times Messenger reached out to Australia’s Olympic gold medal winning women’s rugby sevens team last week.
Scrum-half Caslick, who is Grace’s favourite player, replied with some words of wisdom for the budding star.
