Notes

Positions

  • Where a player has played in more than one position, the most common is listed first.
  • The following abbreviations are used
  • Interchange (IN) is listed only when a player's appearances have all been off the interchange bench.
  • An asterisk indicates position(s) played in other representative matches where the player's position for the Jillaroos is unknown.

Matches

  • Numbers in bold in the matches (M) column are drawn from the Most Appearances section of a Jillaroos history article that the NRL published in January 2021.[2] There is some inconsistency in tallies given in NRL articles.
    • For Katrina Fanning, the initial list has 23 matches, whilst a 2024 article announcing her induction into the NRL Hall of Fame has 24 matches.[68]
    • For Tahnee Norris the initial list has 33 matches, whilst a 2024 article announcing her induction into the NRL Hall of Fame has 32 matches.[69]
  • The match tally for Tarsha Gale is drawn from an article announcing her induction into the NRL Hall of Fame.[70]
  • Numbers in bold italics in the matches column are drawn from a Souths Logan Magpies Honours Board. This list includes players that joined the Magpies both before and after making their Jillaroos debut.

Points

  • The tally of individual tries and goals is missing detail from nine matches.
    • 1996 vs Great Britain (Second Test), all 12 points unknown
    • 1998 vs Fiji (First Test), there are three contradictory reports.
      • A syndicated report gives a score of 68 to nil and states the Tahnee Norris scored two tries and Loretta O’Neill three tries. The report also mentions that Tarsha Gale was captain, and that Karen Shaw suffered a wrist injury during the match.[71][72]
      • A match report in the Fiji Times gives a score of 72 to nil and lists try and point scorers in the first half and try scorers (only) in the second half. Combining the halves tallies to 14 tries and 3 goals for 62 points. Try scorers were listed as Murphy 3, Campbell 2, O’Neill 2, Anderson, Billing, Dwyer, White, Gale, Moss, and Merritt. The report is accompanied by three match photos.[12]
      • A match report in Fiji's Daily Post gives a score of 68 to nil. This report states that thirteen tries were scored, five in the first half and eight in the second half. All five tries in the first stanza were converted for a half-time score of 30 to nil. Ten of the thirteen tries are credited in this Post report: Veronica White 3, prop Karen Shaw 2 and one try each to Danielle Samiri, Kylie Mackay, Katrina Moss, Alyssa Campbell and Kylie Egan.[73]
      • The table reflects the syndicated report, but only on the basis that it was the first account to be "found".
      • Karen Shaw was ruled of one of the two Tests with concussion after a crossbar fell on her shortly after the completion of a fitness test.[74] The recollection of at least one player was that this incident occurred before the First Test.
    • 1999 vs New Zealand (First Test), all 10 points unknown.
    • 1999 vs New Zealand (Second Test), only 18 of 22 points known. A video of the last 70 minutes of the match posted on YouTube misses the first Australian try. The video shows, with commentary three tries, by Karyn Murphy, Veronica White and Natalie Dwyer. The commentators mention that Karen Shaw kicked three goals.[14]
    • 2004 vs New Zealand (First Test), all 12 points unknown.
    • 2007 vs New Zealand Māori (First Test), only 8 of 20 points known. A Manly Daily profile on three local players who made the tour reported that Jamie Blazejewski and Bronwyn Mackintosh scored tries and that Lisa Faiola was recognised as the back of the game.[29]
    • 2007 vs New Zealand Māori (Second Test), all 4 points unknown.
    • 2008 vs France (World Cup), only 36 of 60 points known. A Sunshine Coast Daily match report states that 12 tries were scored and names six scorers of nine of the tries. This included four tries by Steph Hancock and three by Teresa Anderson.[75]
    • 2008 vs Russia (World Cup), only 20 of 72 points known. Two regional newspapers report on performances in this match of players associated with their distribution area. The reports credit three tries to Tegan Rolfe and two tries to Steph Hancock.[34][76]
  • Numbers shaded in the tries (T) and goals (G) columns are a tally from available sources during this (1996 to 2008) period of incompleteness. The following two examples show the impact of the nine incomplete scoresheets.
    • Alyssa Campbell scored two tries in the Third Test of 1996, two tries in the Second Test of 1998, and one in the Third Test of 1999. A total of five, as shown in the table. However, Australia’s scorers in 1996’s Second Test are unknown and Campbell likely played in that match. Also, the Fiji Times match report of 1998’s First Test has Campbell scoring two tries, but per the above point that account differs from the syndicated report.
    • Erin Elliott scored a try against New Zealand Māori in the 2003 World Cup, and another try against the same opponent on the 2009 tour of New Zealand. A total of two, as shown. However, Elliott likely played in the First Test of 2004 and from photos and brief reports in the Sunshine Coast Daily is confirmed as playing in the 2008 World Cup matches against France and Russia.
  • Drop goal / field goal column excluded as, to date, just one known field goal has been kicked. This was by Caitlin Moran in the 2017 World Cup Final.

Debut

  • The club listed is the club with whom the individual was playing, or had most recently played, at the time of making her debut.

1993 Foundation team

In early October 1993, two women's teams from Australian clubs travelled to Suva, Fiji. On Friday, 1 October the two teams, Waverton Eagles, from Sydney, and Woden Valley Rams, from Canberra, played a match as a curtain raiser to a men's game between Fiji and a Queensland Residents team.[77][78] A team of Australians was then selected from the two clubs, to play a team of Fijian women on Tuesday, 5 October 1993. Played in torrential rain, the Australian team defeated the Fijian team, 16, to 4.[79]

In 2019, the National Rugby League announced that the players in this 1993 match had been credited as members of the Foundation team.[1][80]
