Tobie McGann (five eight) and Rebecca Trethowan (flanker) will be contesting their second Womens Rugby World Cup as they were members of the 2006 Wallaroo Squad which finished seventh in Canada.
Tobie McGann was a member of the Wallaroos Team which won the inaugural Womens Rugby Sevens World Cup in 2009, and she will be looking to add a XV’s World Cup medallion to her collection.
Margaret Watson (hooker) will be making her World Cup debut, but has previously represented the Wallaroos against England in the two test home series in 2008.
One of the bolters for the Wallaroo Squad is Megan Shanahan (flanker) who moved from the backs to the forwards this year, and gained selection with some outstanding performances for the Country Corellas and at the Wallaroo Training Camps.
The Wallaroo Squad will assemble in Sydney on 9 August for a training camp before flying out to England where they will play New Zealand, South Africa and Wales in their Pool A matches.
