“Wet willies, cheek kisses, maybe a few wedgies”: Cramer pumped for Welsh clubmate reunion | Latest Rugby News | RUGBY.com.au

th minute sealer – and returns to the match-day squad following a four-week injury layover.

Cramer’s boot could well prove the difference again, but the 30-year-old is confident Australia won’t need it if they can replicate last week’s giant-killing performance.

“I think this is the longest break I’ve had in quite a while. For a lot of us these days, the longest breaks we get is if we get pushed out with injury,” Cramer said.

“Four weeks ago, I thought I was out for a really long time, wasn’t really sure what I was dealing with, so the fact that I’m back on the pitch hopefully tomorrow, well I’m just really excited to be back out there and playing any rugby.

“I think we’ve come so far as a group and we’re finally starting to play the kind of footy we always knew that we were capable of. If we can play the kind of rugby we want to tomorrow, we’re going to score a lot of points.

“We’ve got a lot of really capable kickers now … we’re all capable of the job and if it comes down to that then I reckon we’ve got it.”

Cramer has been an almost automatic selection in Australia’s starting back three since her 2019 debut against Japan in Newcastle.

But the Sydney Uni flyer has nothing but admiration for her back three rivals – including club mate and this week’s starting fullback Faitala Moleka.

“I’ve been playing with her for the last two or three years at Sydney University and the second I saw her on the training pitch I went holy hell, these young kids, wow.”

“She’s been playing park footy, school footy and she’s got so much confidence to do ballsy things and real risky kind of moves … she’s such a natural footy player.

“Even (Melanie) Wilks last week, Wilks has been grinding it out here for maybe two plus years and she killed it as well.

I’ve been watching Wilksy play and playing against her for a while in sevens and XVs so for these girls to be having game time, I think the future of Australian rugby for women is huge.

“Everyone’s so instinctual from playing park footy or touch and the transferable skills from the different sports we’re able to play I think is really going to benefit us in the future.

Australia kick off their final WXV1 clash against Wales this afternoon (Friday 3 November) at 5pm AEDT LIVE on Stan Sport.
