Australia's rugby community is mourning the loss of Ellia Green's mother, Yolanta, after a long cancer struggle.
Green's mother Yolanta has been battling cancer for several years and sadly passed away earlier this week.
Ellia writes 'Mum' on her wrist before every game and spoke often about their close bond, with Yolanta a constant source of support for the Aussie Sevens superstar.
The 25-year-old had always been raising awareness about her mother even when she came to Fiji in the past years.
Green has been spending time in Melbourne in recent months to be closer to Yolanta and was with her in her final days.
