After their win at the Brisbane Tens, Queensland coach Michael Hayes has named his inaugural Super W squad.
The 30-player squad will feature nine Wallaroos along with schoolgirl Alysia Fakasilea.
Fakasilea excited rugby fans after her performance against NSW in the Tens on Friday and Saturday night where she scored the winning try for Queensland.
She is one of 13 players who took part in the Aon Uni 7s in Hayes' squad.
Hayes told Rugby.com.au he's assembled a squad mixed with youth and experience ahead of the inaugural season.
"We’re lucky to have some seasoned Women’s XV campaigners who have already represented their country, who can act as role models for some of our younger players emerging from various pathways such as Sevens," he said.
"We’re fortunate that Queensland has some quality club competitions with healthy rivalries, which has helped lift the standard of the game in the state.
"We’ve worked hard so far this year to challenge the girls and their traditional ways of playing the game, and we began to see the results of that in our performances over the weekend," Hayes said.
