Savannah Roberts-Hickling

Savannah Roberts-Hickling brings the physicality of rugby league and the flair of a natural entertainer every time she steps onto the field. 

A proud Bundjalung, Gomeroi and Euahlayi woman, Roberts-Hickling was born in Lismore and began her sporting journey in rugby league with the Ballina Seagulls before making the switch to rugby union at 17. Her league background remains one of her greatest strengths, with powerful carries, strong footwork and a willingness to attack the line making her a dangerous weapon in the backline. 

An abrasive and dynamic outside back, Savannah thrives in contact and never takes a backwards step. Whether she's breaking tackles, carrying defenders with her or creating opportunities through sheer determination, she brings energy and enthusiasm to every contest. 

Away from the field, Roberts-Hickling works with the Brumbies delivering programs in schools while studying a Certificate II in Cultural Arts through TAFE. Deeply connected to her culture and community, she draws inspiration from Australian sporting icons Cathy Freeman and Johnathan Thurston, admiring not only their achievements but the way they used their platforms to inspire and give back to others. 

When she's not training or working, you'll likely find Savannah listening to music, quoting movies, spending time on Country or having what she describes as "a little boogie." Her perfect day off starts with a good breakfast and a swim in the ocean before plenty of rest, while skydiving or bungee jumping remain high on the bucket list. 

Heading into the 2026 season, Roberts-Hickling continues to establish herself as an exciting young talent in the Brumbies system; powerful, passionate and always ready to make an impact.
