Go the Country girls! Should be a good game City obviously overwhelming favs with the number of Wallaroos in their squad.

The country team may have more Wallaroos but they have quite a few players that have little experience in Rugby, the Fullback for country only started playing Rugby last year even though shes fit shes obviously very new to the game its the same deal with quite a few of their players. Club players who have played for a number of years could have their measure. I'm surprised about City through I thought they'd have a lot more Wallaroos in their squad if they were taking this seriously, obviously not, and once again demonstrates the arrogance of Sydney. Go Country!

A lot of the wallaroos are settling down, or focusing on sevens.
Chris Ross is due to have a baby any day now, some of the others are wishing to settle down now.
Cheryl Soon is focusing on sevens like a lot of the girls are.

EDIT: there were 2 wallaroos girls playing for the city side but read above why there were only 2. Tui Ornsby and Iliseva Batibasaga were the Wallaroos girls.

Fair enough. Focusing on sevens though, christ, its like swapping full strength coffee for decaf.

Great time to get a new bunch of girls in and a chance to become Wallaroos
