Wallaroos coach Paul Verrell has named his 28-woman squad for the 2017 Rugby World Cup in Ireland in August, with ten Queenslanders selected.
Headlined by Rugby Sevens Olympic Gold Medalists Shannon Parry (QLD) and Sharni Williams (ACT), the squad also includes stalwarts Cheyenne Campbell, Liz Patu and Alisha Hewett, as well as Kiri Lingman, Nareta Marsters, Hanaha Ngaha, Hilisha Samoa, Fenella Hake and Samantha Treherne.
The Wallaroos squad features two potential debutants, with fellow Sevens star Mahalia Murphy joined by Western Australian flyhalf Trilleen Pomare.
The squad features 156 caps of Test experience, with nine players having tasted Rugby World Cup action before, as the Wallaroos aim to build on their seventh place finish at the 2014 edition.
Wallaroos coach Paul Verrell said: "We have had some solid preparation during our Test series in New Zealand earlier this month, and had the opportunity to blood some new talent at Test level.
"That tour in New Zealand really showed us the standard of the best three teams in the world and we know what we need to do to reach that level now, so it's time for the next generation of Wallaroos to really step up.
"We have a really competitive pool with Ireland, France and Japan and we know that there's no such thing as an easy game at a World Cup. We're really looking forward to pulling on that gold jersey and doing it proud," Verrell said.
The Wallaroos are in Pool C alongside hosts Ireland, as well as France and Japan.
