Who is Nicole Beck?

Nicole Beck is a female Australian rugby union player who plays as a wing for Australia, Sydney and Sydney University.

A former Australian touch football representative, she was selected by Wallaroos coach Steve Hamson after just two games of 15-a-side rugby and made her international debut in the test match lost 36-3 to the Black Ferns on 14 October 2008 at Viking Park in Canberra.

Only a few months before, Beck had been chosen to play with Australia Women’s Sevens for the 2009 World Cup qualifiers scheduled on 25–26 July 2008 at Apia Park in Samoa. She scored a decisive try on full-time in the 22-15 win against New Zealand, claiming the Oceania Sevens champions title.

The following year Australia won the Rugby World Cup Sevens defeating 15-10 New Zealand in a final started with a try by Beck in the second minute and ended in extra-time with a golden point strike by Shelly Matcham.
