Hera-Barb Malcolm Heke

Wallaroos hooker Hera-Barb Malcolm Heke is a long-time Western Force and WA rugby servant, who was rewarded with her Wallaroos debut in 2024 after an excellent Super W season that included three tries.

Tauranga-born Malcolm Heke debuted for Australia alongside Force teammate Sammy Wood against Canada during the Pacific Four series.

The fearsome Kalamunda captain is renowned as one of the toughest tacklers in Super Rugby Women's but a damaging ball carrier too.

Malcolm Heke missed the Wallaroos' WXV2 tournament win and 2025 World Cup but was recalled ahead of the WXV Global Series in 2026 after strong Super Rugby Women's form.

Off the field, Malcolm Heke has a young child.
