The Indigenous Women's All Stars delivered a scintillating performance in their NRL Harvey Norman All Stars clash, leaving the Māori team shell-shocked with a 26-4 defeat.
It was a masterclass display from centre Jaime Chapman, who orchestrated the attack with such finesse that she left the opposition's defense in tatters.
Chapman, like a lightning bolt on the field, stunned the crowd with two incredible long-range tries within minutes.
Her impressive stat line of 214 metres gained and seven tackles broken showcased her undeniable dominance.
Meanwhile, debutante winger Kimberley Hunt also left her mark, crossing the try line twice and proving that she is a force to be reckoned with.
However, it was playmaker Kirra Dibb who claimed the prestigious Trish Hina Medal for her exceptional performance, guiding her team to victory with a try assist, line break assist, and three successful conversions.
This victory not only solidifies the Indigenous team's strength but also adds to their historical supremacy over the Māori, breaking a previous record set in 2022.
In a game where scoring opportunities were scarce, a moment of brilliance from Tamika Upton, who cleverly executed a grubber kick, saw Shaylee Bent seal the deal with a vital touch down.
The Indigenous Women's All Stars showcased their unrivaled talent and left no doubt that they are a formidable force in Rugby League.
