Awkward moment
@ausgov
refuse your citizenship applications (again)🥺😂 wearing the green and gold 70 times apparently is not enough these days.. 🤔
Cheers Shannon
I’ve neglected Twitter for too long and now I’m going to post my true thoughts with out fear of being fined and being told what we could and couldn’t say while playing in Australia.
On the bullet train to Tokyo to sit the Australian citizenship test at 10am.. weird feeling but it probably wouldn’t have happened with out your support!thank you to everyone who pushed for people like myself to be eligible to officially call Australia home ❤️🙏🏽 forever grateful
A timely reminder of how important it is to live your best life and to never take it for granted.. I was fortunate enough to meet this lovely man Brian who may only live to see the next few days.. I was told Brian has no family but now he is part of the rugby family forever ♥️
Good to be home ❤️ thank you to the people of South Africa for your hospitality and the team for the tough game! Wish you the best for the rest of the championship 🙏
What a moment for rugby… Fiji has produced and supplied many players to so many nations around the world and to now have their own super rugby team that has given the opportunity to show case their local talent! Congrats to the

The people you find lurking the hallways in Japan 🫶🏽 two of the best I’ve had the privilege of playing footy with and now to play against them in Japan. Great players even better humans
The outcome will always be so do not lose sleep or ride too high off of the outcome. Do the work each day with the purpose of getting better at life.. Continue to show up and be ready for the challenges thrown at you each and everyday.. 🙏🏽❤️
Ceremony done and after 5 years 5 attempts 75 test matches and a lot of help from the community and many people behind the scenes I can finally say I’m Australian. To my immigration officer Sarah Lolesio thank for for your efforts and countless hours of work. 💚💛

Over time I’ve come to see that success is in the daily not in the single moment.. although it feels great, a new day is already here ❤️ @ Gold Coast, Queensland

After everything our animals have been going through.. surly someone knows this coward? Would love to go a few rounds with this bloke.
Would like to thank everyone for their support in light of my citizenship situation. I represented Australia proudly for the first time when 17… it’s more than just a piece of paper. 💚💛
Your efforts today will affect people you will never know. It’s your choice whether that effect is positive or negative. You can choose everyday, every minute, to act in a way that may uplift a stranger, or else drag them down… the choice is easy and it is yours 🙏🏽❤️
Prayers out to our brothers and sisters in Tonga after the volcano eruption and tsunami. Thoughts are with all those on the island and those who cannot connect with their loved ones on the island 🇹🇴🤲🏼❤️
First kick feels.
Small gains like this may seem insignificant, but they are the building blocks that make up the journey. This kick isn’t about the outcome it simply represents progress and the work I have put in and the work that still needs to be done. Consistency is key 🙏🏽❤️
Eid Mubarak to my brothers and sisters around the world ❤️ this time of year to me is always a grounding time that allows me to reconnect and think of those who are facing difficulties in their lives.
My heart goes out to Sean wainuis whanau.. Lost for words as it was only a few months ago I was talking to him in the gym in tauranga. We have lost an incredible human 💔
Prayers for his wife and young family

.. wish we had the bullet train in Australia 😍 could you imagine going from noosa to the Gold Coast in 40mins and Bris to syd in 2 hours with out the hassle of airports 😮💨
Fall from grace 😭 🤣
brother hang in there the storm won’t last forever. There’s a reason you were paid that money ✊🏼❤️ rest your body and enjoy it I know I did
Confidence does not come from knowing the outcome.. it comes from knowing that you’ve done the work and you will have your own back regardless of the outcome. ❤️
The outcome is never guaranteed but one thing is for certain.. none of this would be possible without the work & discipline to stick at it day in day out, regardless of the outcome. To me, the success is in the work done when there is nothing on offer but your own personal growth
Incredible game and great bravery shown by the all blacks. Pure class. But South Africa too good in the end. Congratulations SA on being back2back World Cup champions & to my brother
@SiyaKolisi
for inspiring a whole nation and generation on overcoming adversity 🙏🏽❤️
growth isn't only found in the moments of victory.. it emerges from the depths of challenging moments. It's in those difficult moments that we discover our strength, resilience, and determination. When faced with obstacles, we have a choice: to retreat or to press forward.. ❤️
Training camp 23/24 complete. Funny, this week my will and desire to win were questioned by a former coach. To me, the way I view winning and success is through preparation. No outcome is guaranteed, but what you can guarantee is the work and preparation you put in. You know that
Coming back from injury is never easy, but it’s an opportunity to grow mentally, physically, and emotionally. From the day I got injured I knew I was ready for the challenges this journey would provide.
Work hard for what you want.. even when it appears there is no way, there is ALWAYS a way.. persist and be patient.. grateful to be representing
@SouthsRugby
on this journey back to the Reds & Wallabies.. I will not give up
The amount of people coming up to me saying “how good was it seeing the ABs go down” the problem I have with that comment is the negative mindset of people wanting to see someone/something great fall.. rather people celebrated a team winning more so than enjoying a team losing 💭
it doesn’t stop it’s a continuous process that you can make your new norm with consistent discipline each day ❤️
Improvement > achievement.
Trust god but always tie your camel up. 🙏🏽❤️💭
Todays accelerations and tempo runs @ 75% feeling 100. Damn this journey has been everything I expected and more. I remember laying on the field and all I could think about was how tough the next 9 months would be but I knew I had prepared myself for the storm I was about to face
The moment you realise life ain’t something to fuck with! If you feel something tell that person! If you miss someone tell that person.. you never know when your time is up! 💚
I love our game but that tackle on one of the Morris twins in union would have resulted in a red card and 6-8 weeks on the sideline. Rugby league no penalty or stoppage👏🏼 and the game goes on.
Proud to see my brother back in the

cheeoooo ✊🏽
Fiji has already proven capable of beating top tier teams and of course their historic win against England means anything is possible. We believe so I’m sure all of Fiji believe it’s within their reach ❤️
not going to lie I was super nervous as there was some difficult questions and it felt like if I failed that everyone’s efforts to help would have been for nothing. Then I realised that the law change had provided myself and many others this opportunity and that is the victory ❤️
Had an amazing moment today at the traffic lights. Guy pulled up next to me & told me he love my clothing brand but he had followed my journey which helped him climb out of depression & now helped him pursue his highest self. ❤️ happened to have shosai socks in the car for him 🙏🏽
It was a great feeling being back out there. Was nice to be part of the win and continue the journey another week. Felt good physically and clocked my 3rd fastest accelerations in the 4 years Ive been at this club which is a good sign and also my 2nd best top speed. ❤️
#grateful
Enjoy your last game in black big bro
@SonnyBWilliams
🖤 your achievements on the field show the god given talent and hour of hard work you put in. I’ve never trained with a harder trainer and am grateful to have…
Hey fam surgery went well and I’m ready and prepared for the road ahead. The past few days have been slow as all I can do is sit still and let time do it’s thing but whilst I’ve been sitting still we have been working away and getting collection 002 on track to share with you all
