Australia’s Rugby Sevens queen Charlotte Caslick admits while she harbours the desire to win another Olympic gold medal, there is no guarantee she will feature in the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
But for now, she is not thinking too far ahead. Rather, she is determined to ensure her transition to the 15-woman code is a success, a phase which will have its next chapter inscribed on Friday night.
Caslick will line up for the Wallaroos at Suncorp Stadium for the first time against world No.2 Canada, hopeful her try-scoring feats in last week’s triumph of the USA were no flash in the pan.

But beyond this year’s World Cup in England, she tells this masthead she has not locked in how far her career will extend, despite her hopes of reaching LA and the 2029 Rugby World Cup in Australia – by which time, she will be 34.
“I’m focusing on getting myself on the plane for the World Cup … but I will return to Sevens,” Caslick says, with the world tour not beginning again until December.

“I’m looking forward to focusing on the World Cup this year, but I’m getting old now so there are other things I want to focus on in my life as well. If I could play at LA and in the home World Cup, that would be amazing, but it’s a pretty long way away.
“I’d love to start a family, I’ve been with my partner for a long time, and he sacrifices a lot for me to continue to play rugby. We have a cattle farm as well that we run, which he obviously does most of the heavy lifting for.
“But I want to play rugby for as long as I possibly can, as long as my body allows me to. It’s the best job in the world, but also as female athletes, you have to think about other aspects of your life too.”
