The NSW Waratahs Women will focus on \u201cconnection\u201d when they kick-off their ISPS Handa NextGen 7s Series campaign in Round 1 at Sunshine Coast Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\nNSW Waratahs NextGen 7s Head Coach Blake Cavarallo said \u201cconnection\u201d was the principal theme of their preparation for Sunday\u2019s opening round.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe’ve named this week \u201cconnection week,\u201d Cavarallo said after naming the first NSW Waratahs side from the extended squad of twenty six players named earlier this week.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cGoing into round one, it\u2019s about connection on and off the field. We\u2019ve been big on that. It\u2019s about staying connected.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIf things get tough, make sure we get together as a group and be connected in every single way. That’s going to help us guide out the wins.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWith the NextGen 7s Series a four-round competition between the NSW Waratahs, Queensland Reds and ACT Brumbies, no team can afford a poor start on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe need to start strong. For the first couple minutes of each game, we’ve talked about starting strong, being positive and making sure we start from the go,\u201d Cavarallo said.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI feel we’ve got the players that are starting in round one team have got experience in that kind of level. I’m hopeful that they’ll show the leadership group and take control.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nCavarrallo said his Round 1 squad of thirteen is his strongest, but that he would later consider team selection based on how a player\u2019s development is being managed.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe want to put the best team forward and put up our best chances to win, but we also want to make sure we’re also developing everybody inside our program,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSo, after this weekend, we will have a good chance of watching the opposing teams and playing against the opposing teams.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe will reflect over the next four rounds of what the team could look like. \u201c<\/p>\n
