The Australian Wallaroos have revealed their squad for the highly anticipated 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup, blending experience with fresh talent in a bid to challenge for the title. Head coach Jay Tregonning has named a 32-player squad, including several returning stars and exciting newcomers.
Key Players to Watch
Among the standout selections is veteran prop Liz Patu, whose leadership and physicality will be crucial in the forwards. Meanwhile, playmaker Arabella McKenzie returns to orchestrate the backline, alongside dynamic winger Maya Stewart, whose pace promises to trouble defences.
Surprise Inclusions
The squad also features a few unexpected picks, including 19-year-old flanker Piper Duck, whose recent performances have earned her a spot. "Piper’s energy and work rate are exceptional," Tregonning said. "She embodies the future of this team."
Tactical Approach
With a focus on aggressive defence and quick ball movement, the Wallaroos aim to build on their recent progress. "We’ve worked hard on our set-piece and fitness," Tregonning added. "This group has the potential to go far."
The tournament kicks off in August 2025, with Australia drawn in a competitive pool alongside New Zealand and France. Fans are eager to see if the Wallaroos can surpass their previous best finish of fourth.
