Sene, a former Ireland rugby international, is a force to be reckoned with. The New Zealand-born Samoan Irish centre has 48 caps for Ireland XV’s. She made her Irish debut in 2015 at the Six Nations Championship, where Ireland secured the title and also represented Ireland at the 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup, Sevens World Series and 2019 Touch Rugby World Cup.
In 2017 the Irish Times named her among Irelands' 30 Most Influential Women' and, in 2020, the Irish Examiner named her the 10th Most Influential Women in Irish Sport. Sene has an infectiously positive personality and has a large and engaged audience on social media.
