The Karaka-Tuipulotu family may be apart for some time
21 August 2021
Netballer Phoenix Karaka has re-signed with the ANZ Premiership winning Northern Mystics for next season, after missing the recent campaign through maternity leave
Karaka's partner Patrick Tuipulotu will head overseas with the All Blacks for the Rugby Championship followed by the end of year tour, as well as a stint in Japan next season.
Karaka says there's a chance she and her baby daughter could be apart from Tuipulotu eight to 10 months, but if she wants to make it back into the Silver Ferns for next year's Commonwealth Games, it's a sacrifice they are both willing to make.
