Kennedy Cherrington got the call-up that she would be pulling on green and gold as a Jillaroo, the day after playing in the NRLW grand final.
The 23-year-old has represented the country before, in rugby 7s and in the Wallaroos A squad, but being a Jillaroo is a lifelong dream.
"I've always wanted to be a Jillaroo ever since I was little, I started playing rugby league when I was 10," she said.
