Jillaroos Las Vegas Squad Named
A new coach and a recall for the reigning Dally M winner as the Jillaroos head to be part of the NRL’s second venture to Las Vegas
The Australian Rugby League Commission has announced the Harvey Norman Jillaroos squad which will travel to the United States later this month.
The Jillaroos will take part in an historic Test Match against England at Allegiant Stadium on 1 March 2025.
After being overlooked for the Pacific Championships squad late last year, Dally M Player of the Year Olivia Kernick has been included, as has Canberra skipper Simaima Taufa, who has recovered from injury.
Jess Skinner has been appointed as interim Jillaroos Coach for the Las Vegas Test Match. Jess has previously coached the Indigenous All Stars, and was in charge of last year’s Prime Minister’s XIII team to Papua New Guinea.
Skinner replaces Brad Donald, who has resigned from his role as Jillaroos Coach. The ARLC acknowledges and thanks Brad for his extensive efforts in coaching and elevating the Jillaroos to the position they are in as the number one ranked team in the world and World Cup champions.
The full squad is below.
