The Australian Rugby Union has named a 22-woman squad to take on New Zealand in October in what will be the first women’s rugby international played on Australian soil since 2001.
The two-match series between the “Wallaroos” and the “Black Ferns” will be held at Viking Park in Canberra next month, with games on October 14 and 18.
