::::: RATETTES NZ BOUND FOR WALLAROOS TOUR :::: RATETTE and Wallaroo TUI ORMSBY is on target to notch up a fourth World Cup later this year in Paris with the news shes been selected for the upcoming Tri-Nations tournament to be held in New Zealand in June. ORMSBY will be joined by fellow RATETTES DANIELLE MESKELL and EMILY ROBINSON, who also made the team of 26, which includes 15 uncapped players donning the Green and Gold for the first time. “I’m very excited about getting the opportunity to potentially represent Australia in a fourth World Cup, said ORMSBY. My journey in the 2010 World Cup ended prematurely due to injury so I’m really excited to get out there again and make the most of this opportunity. “We have got a long road ahead of us but the feeling and sense of camaraderie at the National Selection camp was fantastic and I’m confident we will make everyone proud of the Wallaroos this year, she said. Todays announcement by the ARU follows an extensive selection process that included the Women’s National Championship, a National Selection camp, the National Women’s Sevens Championship and satellite training around the country. National selectors will be using the Tri-Nations tournament to narrow down final selections for the IRB Women’s Rugby World Cup to be held in France in August. Australian Rugby Union CEO, Bill Pulver said he’s excited about the Wallaroos’ prospects for the Tri-Nations and Rugby World Cup. “The squad trained hard at the National Selection Camp in Canberra and I’m confident they’ll improve on their third place from the last Women’s Rugby World Cup when they head to France in August,” Mr Pulver said. “They have an excellent coaching team led by Paul Verrell and the Tri-Nations Test series against New Zealand and Canada will be the perfect preparation on their quest for World Cup glory. “The Australian Rugby community will certainly be cheering hard at every stage of their path to Paris,” said Pulver Head Coach Paul Verrell said he and his team were very impressed with the commitment and training of all the players at the National Selection Camp. “After a careful and considered process we have chosen this squad to take us to the Tri-Nations and prepare us for success at the IRB Women’s World Cup. I’m confident they have the potential to go better than their third place in 2010 and we have every intention of doing so,” he said. The Wallaroos squad includes representative players from right across the country and the Australian Services Rugby Union. The women will attend a training camp in May before heading to New Zealand on May 30th for the Tri-Nations tournament against NZ and Canada. The IRB Women’s Rugby World Cup commences on August 1. The Wallaroos are drawn to face France, South Africa and Wales in their World Cup pool.
