NSW Women Too Strong in Super W Opener

NSW shut-out QLD 18-0 in the first ever match in the Inaugural Buildcorp Super W tournament.

Ashleigh Hewson got the Super W started with an early penalty, followed up by a superb solo try to NSW fly-half Chloe Leaupepe. Half-time score 8-0.

NSW scored one more try in the second half to Atasi Lafai, but desperate defence from QLD prevented several more tries.
