Lawrence on Boulding:

"She's funny, she's kind and she's someone who is genuine and driven. Immediately, she became someone that I wanted to go through these really hard and emotional and joyous experiences with. We can't wait to have her here."

"Her back-row skills are really incredible, and that excites me because I think she can be a true, six-rotation player for us."
