Arabella McKenzie

Arabella McKenzie (Waratah #153) is one of Australia's premier fly halves in Women's rugby after coming through the Youth Sevens system in 2016.

Born in Bathurst, McKenzie went to school in Mittagong where she played cricket and rugby. She represented NSW in the Youth Sevens Championships and went on to play for Australia at the Youth Commonwealth Games in 2017.

On the 15s side of the game, McKenzie’s form with the Waratahs women in Super Rugby Women's earned her a Test debut in 2019 against Japan.

She started the 2022 season in the south island of New Zealand, recruited by Matatū along with fellow Wallaroo Michaela Leonard as part of the inaugural Super Rugby Aupiki.

McKenzie played at her first World Cup shortly after before being part of the Waratahs' successful title triumph in early 2024.
