Wests Tigers would like to congratulate our Pacific Championships winners, Kezie Apps, Sarah Togatuki, Christian Pio and Claudia Brown, on their victories in Sunday’s finals.
Apps co-captained the Jillaroos to the 24-4 triumph over the Kiwi Ferns, while Togatuki won her first major international tournament in her debut campaign in the green and gold.
The Australian women were dominant throughout their run to the title, conceding just four points in three tournament games.
Earlier in the day, Fetu Samoa earned promotion to the Pacific Cup after their 34-12 win over the PNG Orchids.
Christian Pio was at her consistent best for the Samoans, who will join Australia and New Zealand in next year’s Pacific Cup.
Claudia Brown made her international debut in the match, with the teenage forward being activated as the 18th player and having a 10-minute stint for Fetu to close out the game.
Pauline Piliae-Rasabale, who represented Wests Tigers from 2023-24, was also a member of the victorious Samoan side.
Well done to all our Pacific Championships winners.
