While Queensland was unable to get the win on their home turf, going down 18-0 to rivals NSW, it was still a memorable moment.
In the other match, 17-year-old rugby sensation Courtney Hodder scored six tries for the Western Force who beat the Melbourne Rebels 85-13 on Sunday.

With the big scoreline Rebels coach Alana Thomas told Rugby.com.au there were some positives to come out of the match.
“The scoreline was quite big, but at the end of the day there were some things that we saw in the back end of that first half and in the beginning of the second half where the girls got some continuity but just couldn’t really break the defensive line,” she said.
