Game Introduction
Hello and welcome to the premier women's rugby match! This league has grown bigger and improved yearly, beginning with merely four clubs back in 2018 to a much more significant 12 teams. Interestingly enough, we still ended up with the Roosters and Broncos in the championship game, exactly like back in 2018.
The two sides have been remarkable this season – Sydney remains undefeated in 2025 and Brisbane has dropped just one match. The two clubs boast superstars throughout their lineups and each is fully equipped of securing the win on their day.
These teams last met occurred in round three – during July – when the Roosters earned a narrow victory by just four points. During that contest, Sydney began powerfully, built a significant break margin, before the Broncos mounted a second half comeback. Olivia Kernick scored a crucial closing score to ensure the win for the title holders in a thrilling contest. Should the two sides repeat that performance from their last encounter, viewers will witness an exceptional contest today.
Given the anticipation ahead of us, we're starting!
