Ruby Tui is the talented, energetic and infectiously upbeat face of women's rugby, but her smile belies a secret pain. For the first time, Ruby talks publicly about the details of her incredibly tough childhood and the neglect that almost broke her. Her suffering led to a strength and leadership that has propelled her to international success, and on the cusp of the Rugby World Cup, a brave and brutally honest Ruby speaks exclusively to Sunday.
