Match Preview

Hello and welcome to the premier women's rugby match! This competition has developed substantially and better each season, starting with only four squads back in 2018 to a considerably larger 12 teams. Remarkably, we still ended up with the Roosters and Broncos in the grand final, exactly like back in 2018.

Both teams have been exceptional throughout the campaign – the Roosters are yet to be defeated in 2025 and the Broncos suffered a single defeat. Both sides display elite athletes all over the field and each is fully equipped of securing the win at their best.

These teams last met occurred in match week three – back in July – when the Roosters secured a narrow victory by just four points. During that contest, the Roosters opened impressively, built a significant half-time lead, before the Broncos mounted a second half comeback. Olivia Kernick registered a vital final touchdown to ensure the win for the reigning champions in an exciting game. If the competitors replicate that intensity from their last encounter, fans can expect an exceptional contest today.

Given the anticipation before us, the action commences!
