The extended team lists for the first-ever game of the North
vs South Women’s Series at Southern Lions RUFC on Sunday have been confirmed.

The three-game women’s pathway series is geared towards
identifying and developing the top female talent across Western Australia,
providing meaningful and high-quality match opportunities with a view to
transitioning into the Force’s 2026 Super Rugby Women’s side.

The seven Fortescue Women’s Premier Grade clubs have been
split into two regions, with Wests Scarborough, Wanneroo and UWA representing
the North and Palmyra, Southern Lions, Kalamunda and Cottesloe representing the
South.

co-captains for North, who boast nine starters from the Divaz’ 2025 Fortescue Premier
Grade winning side.

Malcolm Heke and Wood, plus Aussie 7s talent Ella Fountaine and 2025 Sue Roberts
