Wallaroos confirm squad for O’Reilly Cup

Wallaroos coach Jay Tregonning has confirmed a 32-player squad for the O'Reilly Cup, headlined by the inclusion of exciting duo Maya Stewart and Bienne Terita.

The pair are amongst six uncapped players named for the two-Test series, set to kick off August 20 in Christchurch before heading to Adelaide as part of a double-header with Wallabies-South Africa on August 27.

Stewart makes a long-awaited return in a training capacity as she continues her recovery from an ACL injury suffered during pre-season training with the Waratahs.

Meanwhile, Terita makes the move from Sevens to the 15-a-side game after debuting for Australia in Malaga during the 2021-22 World Series.
