Two long-serving regulars from the women's Indigenous v NRL All Stars fixture, Sam Hammond and Nakia Davis-Welsh, are primed to feature in yet another pre-season fixture to kick off what will be a massive year for the women's game.
While teams haven't been finalised yet, Jillaroos fullback Sam Hammond is set to feature in her sixth All Stars line-up while Indigenous five-eighth and NSW Origin utility Nakia Davis-Welsh is readying for her fourth appearance – despite still being just 20 years old.
