“My first thought was of my mother,” said Wallace Sititi, voted revelation of the year at the World Rugby Awards

« What was your first thought when your name was called?
I didn't know that I would get this Revelation of the Year award, that's why I wanted to honor the other nominees. My first thought was for my mother Rosalind, she is the rock of the family. She means a lot to me, she's the reason I'm here, I do all this. When they called my name, I thought of all those car rides, those meals she prepared for my two brothers and me. Our mother works hard, she is humble, I dedicate this trophy to her. She is a kindergarten teacher, she is 49 years old. She devotes herself so that our family does not need anything. She spreads love around her.
