The ACT Brumbies are excited to unveil the club’s wider Super W wider training squad ahead of the 2023 season. Brumby #64 Scott Fava’s first group as head coach features 20 capped Brumbies players, with the remainder of the 51-player squad being made up of up-and-coming talent from the ACT and capital region, as well as players from interstate and overseas. The squad includes seven capped internationals: current Wallaroos Grace Kemp and Tania Naden, Siokapesi Palu, Jemima McCalman, Fijiana prop Iris Verebalavu and former Australian test stars Sarah Riordan and Rebecca Smyth, Smyth having also captained the Brumbies in 2022. The club’s longest standing player, prop Louise Burrows was not included in the extended group, but will continue her legendary ACT rugby career in club rugby. ACT Brumbies Super W head coach, Scott Fava said: “It’s great to be in a position to select a wider training group pre-Christmas that will form our 2023 squad heading into the new year.” “We’ve approached this stage of selection with an eye to the future and we believe with a targeted rugby and physical development focus, we can lay some important building blocks for the future for the club’s Super W program. “This club has always been a place for people who want an opportunity to come to work hard, improve and reach the next level and that will be at the centre of everything we do moving forward. “That focus means a player and person of the calibre of Cookie Burrows misses out, but we know she’s going to keep contributing to the game in the ACT and hopefully here at the Brumbies, helping to promote the pathway for young players to reach the highest level.” 2023 ACT BRUMBIES SUPER W WIDER TRAINING SQUAD FORWARDSKieran Berry – Burraneer RaysHarriet Elleman – Wagga Wagga WaratahsMonica Fasavalu-Faamausili – Western Sydney Two BluesAsh Fernandez – Canberra RoyalsSally Fuesina – Western Sydney Two BluesJess Grant – Uni-Norths OwlsAmy Hart – Wagga Wagga WaratahsElla Hooper – Uni-Norths OwlsLydia Kavoa – Queanbeyan WhitesGrace Kemp – Canberra RoyalsBrittany Leauanae – Gordon Maggie Maconochie – Hunter WildfiresErika Maslen – Tamworth Ivy Merlehan – CSU ReddiesMonique Moa’le – GordonEdwina Munns-Cook – Sydney UniversityTania Naden – Uni-Norths OwlsKathryn Niki – Tuggeranong VikingsPeark Rakete – Tuggeranong VikingsRebecca Smyth – Narromine Gorillas Emily Sogal – Tuggeranong VikingsAlyse Soloase – Western Sydney Two BluesAlexander Sulusi – GordonTabua Tuinakauvadra – Tuggeranong VikingsFapiola Uoifalelahi – Griffith Iris Verebalavu – Uni-Norths OwlsZali Waihape-Andrews – Tuggeranong Vikings BACKSKrystal Blackwell – Goulburn Dirty RedsDanielle Buttsworth – Hunter WildfiresBiola Dawa – CSU ReddiesSiena Edwards – AucklandChioma Enyi – WestsMartha Fua – Sydney UniversityBrooke Gilroy – Canberra RoyalsApryll Green – Wagga CityTeliya Hetaraka – Tuggeranong VikingsJay Huriwai – Western Sydney Two BluesAkira Kelly – GordonAmelia Lolotonga – GriffithJemima McCalman – Sydney UniversityFaitala Moleka – Sydney UniversitySiokapesi Palu – Uni-Norths OwlsGabrielle Petersen – Tuggeranong VikingsSarah Riordan – Australian Defence ForceChloe Saunders – Burraneer Rays Kayla Sauvou – Western Sydney Two BluesGeorgina Tuipulotu – Sydney UniversitySarah Tuipulotu – Sydney UniversityGisela Vea – Tuggeranong VikingsSammie Wood – Queanbeyan WhitesClick Here: Warriors rugby store
