The fullback was one of Australia’s best at the World Cup, scoring four tries in four games.<\/p>\n
\u201cCaitlyn is one of the most exciting young players in Australian rugby,\u201d RA GM of Women’s Rugby Jilly Collins said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe brings immense value to our squad, not just with her skills on the field but through the energy she embodies. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted to have her locked in. She is a crucial part of our future as we build towards the 2029 World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Waratah is joined in re-signing by Waratahs teammates Lafai and Pohiva, with the trio helping the side to back-to-back Super W titles.<\/p>\n
Lafai missed the 2025 international season after a season-ending injury in a Waratahs pre-season trial in February. <\/p>\n
As for Pohiva, she burst onto the scene and earned her Wallaroos debut at the start of the year, going on to play eight Tests.<\/p>\n
Fellow front-rower and 2025 debutant Amosa rounds out the quartet, emerging as a key piece of the future after her nine appearances in 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cFaliki demonstrated tremendous growth in her debut year and still has so much more to offer the Wallaroos,\u201d Collins said. \u201cShe has already proven herself to be a damaging player and she has the potential to become one of the world\u2019s best props.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile Atasi missed the season due to injury, she is absolutely someone we wanted to keep. She is a strong lock and we are confident she can return to her very best. We\u2019re delighted she\u2019s staying with the squad.<\/p>\n
\u201cKat had a meteoric rise, moving from Super Rugby Women\u2019s to the Wallaroos squad on the back of her outstanding form. She is now an exciting player we expect to be integral to the Wallaroos team in the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wallaroos teenage sensation Caitlyn Halse has confirmed her re-signing with the program ahead of the 2026 season.
