Wallaroos Celebrate 100th Test Against Black Ferns
The Wallaroos are preparing to play their 100th Test against New Zealand's Black Ferns, marking a significant milestone in women's rugby. This match, taking place in Auckland, is a culmination of a 32-year journey for the Australian women's rugby union team.
Past and present players, including Libby Andrew, who participated in the first Test in 1994, emphasize the close-knit relationships within the team, often referring to each other as family. Current captain Siokapesi Palu Sekona expressed pride in leading the team and honoring the legacy of those who paved the way for women's rugby in Australia.
As the Wallaroos prepare for this historic match, they reflect on the challenges faced over the years, including the lack of support and recognition in the early days. With plans for the team to transition to full-time status, there is optimism for the future of women's rugby in Australia.
