Monalisa Urquhart (née Codling; born 20 April 1977) is a former rugby union player for New Zealand and Auckland. She previously played for Otago.
Codling attended Kelston Girls' College and played for the Black Ferns from 1998 to 2010.[1] The 2010 Rugby World Cup was her fourth successful World Cup.[2] She was also a part of three other successful Rugby World Cup campaigns — 1998, 2002, and 2006.
