Amy du Plessis was born in South Africa
but has made Southland and Otago
her home. Having immigrated from the
Republic when she was seven, her family
settled in Invercargill. She first made her
mark in the strong Southland GHS First XV
programme, where she combined with
Alena Saili in the midfield to help the school
win its first national Top 4 final in 2016.
Du Plessis was also making her mark in
sevens, where she was a fixture in the
Black Ferns Sevens Development squad
through 2018-19.
By 2018 she was in Otago, debuting for
the Spirit, and forming a potent midfield
combination with Kilisitina Moata’ane. In
the 2020 Farah Palmer Cup, she scored
two tries in her five outings for the Spirit,
giving the University club player nine tries
in 15 FPC matches.
