End of an era as Wallaroos pair go ‘out with a bang’

Retiring Wallaroos players Emily Chancellor and Cecilia Smith celebrated a farewell victory as Australia defeated Scotland 38-31 in Canberra. The win secured a three-game series sweep over the tourists. The match featured significant drama, including four yellow cards for the hosts and an unverified biting accusation made by Wallaroos center Georgina Friedrichs that officials dismissed due to lack of evidence.

Smith was sent off following two yellow cards in her 34th and final Test, earning a standing ovation from the crowd, while former captain Chancellor concluded her 42-Test career. Captain Siokapesi Palu Sekona scored during a key second-half surge to help hold off a late Scottish comeback attempt.
