Black Ferns Chelsea and Alana Bremner have a unique bond that goes beyond their rugby prowess. Growing up in Little River, the sisters’ sporting journey began with Weet-Bix Kids Tryathlons, a humble start that now shines alongside their Rugby World Cup medals. Chelsea’s transition to rugby post-netball marked the beginning of a shared passion that saw them play alongside each other for years.
Despite their move to different teams, the sisters remain inseparable off the field, sharing a house and a deep-rooted childhood camaraderie. Their upbringing in the countryside instilled a love for the outdoors and a competitive spirit that transcends into their professional careers.
Chelsea and Alana’s contrasting personalities complement each other, with Chelsea’s exuberance balancing Alana’s composed demeanor. The sisters’ shared values and unwavering support for each other extend beyond the rugby field, evident in their diverse pursuits outside the sport.
Chelsea’s teaching background now includes a celebrant license, while Alana’s interests in agribusiness and marketing have led her to explore photography. Despite their busy schedules with Super Rugby Aupiki and Black Ferns commitments, the sisters find time to inspire the next generation of athletes through events like the Weet-Bix Kids’ Tryathlons.
The nostalgia of their own Tryathlon experiences, driving into Christchurch, staying at their grandparents’ place, and gearing up for the race together, adds a sentimental touch to their involvement in the event. Handing out medals to young participants brings their sporting journey full circle, bridging the gap between their past and present successes.
The Bremner sisters’ story serves as a testament to the evolving landscape of women’s rugby, emphasizing inclusivity and empowerment. As they continue to excel in their respective fields and explore new interests, Chelsea and Alana embody the spirit of teamwork, resilience, and sisterhood that defines their remarkable journey.
