Amy has the distinction of being the first girl ever to be put forward for final selection. Every second weekend these players travel to Turangi for special coaching with Eddie Nordell. Here they undergo an intensive training programme with other young hopefuls from the region. The final selection takes place on 12 July. At the end of August the representative team ,will be spending a week in Tokoroa. Here they will be representing the Tongariro area against regions from all over New Zealand.
