I saw a couple of womens representative league games played at Runaway Bay a few years ago and wow, these girls play it rough and tough. Awesome to see. I thought that it would be a bit of hit and giggle but gees was i wrong. The skill and speed of the attack and the quality of the big hitting defence was brilliant. Really entertaining top quality league. Can't wait to see that again.

I saw an Australia vs NZ match at Suncorp, I forget what it was a curtain raiser for, but it was definitely entertaining.

Not quite as fast as the men's game, but some of those women have great talent. And if I remember rightly, one of the Australian centres was pretty cute too.
