Smale shone across the tournament, celebrating her 36th birthday in style.
“It brought back a bit of memories from being a captain but to be able to stand alongside Charlotte Caslick (with 50 caps), doing life with her is pretty awesome. I was just super pumped to be out there with the girls," she said after the opening game against Ireland.
She was joined in the team by rising star Bella Nasser, who experienced a breakout tournament.
It was Nasser's first nomination after making her debut in Cape Town in 2022.
