“There wasn’t a standout for us – all the girls played really well as a team,” the Waratahs mentor said.
“It was a well-fought game.
“We were down by two points after the first quarter before we managed to pull away.
“Absolutely (Waratahs have championship-winning potential).”

“They’ll need to fight for every ball.”
