New South Wales announce team for U19s Women’s State of Origin match

New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) have confirmed the team that will face Queensland in the annual Under-19s Women's State of Origin match.

The team is headlined by players from the Tarsha Gale Cup, including ten players from the premiership-winning Illawarra Steels, such as centre Indie Bostock and halfback Kasey Reh.

Bostock is the younger sister of Dolphins winger Jack Bostock, while Reh is the niece of former Manly Sea Eagles brothers and premiership-winners Brett Stewart and Glenn Stewart.

It also includes eight players who played in the U19s Women's State of Origin match last year.

The team will be coached by Kate Mullaly, who has previously spent time working under Kylie Hilder for the NSW Sky Blues as an assistant coach.
