Rochelle Martin won three World Cups with the Black Ferns.
One of New Zealand's most decorated women's rugby players is hoping that the "eyes and ears of the rugby community" can help her retrieve a treasure trove of stolen memorabilia.
Rochelle Martin, who represented the Black Ferns for 12 years, winning three World Cups in the process, lost many of
the special mementos from her career when her North Shore home was burgled last weekend.
The thieves took her 2006 World Cup winners' medal, almost all of her World Cup jerseys and ceremonial items she had received to mark various milestones in her career.
"It's all irreplaceable stuff," Martin said. "It was enough of a shock to have your house tipped upside down but I really hit the wall when I realised that I had lost some of my most cherished sporting possessions. I loved playing for my country and worked so hard to earn every jersey."
Despite playing against nations from every corner of the globe, Martin tended not to swap jerseys at the end of the games, which makes the loss of her Ferns' uniforms harder to swallow.
