“I am thoroughly looking forward to the matches on Saturday, after what has been a fantastic ten days of Women’s Rugby in Coffs Harbour," General Manager, Women’s Rugby Jilly Collins said.

“I am pleased that we have been able to secure the President’s XV a fixture on the finals day too, despite the Western Force having to travel back to Western Australia early due to COVID-19 restrictions.

“We are in for a cracking day of Rugby and I would encourage everyone to tune into Stan, and for locals to head down and watch the action live.
