In a major shake-up, a new era dawns for the Jillaroos as they gear up to take on England in Las Vegas.
Try-scoring machine Julia Robinson insists that under interim coach Jess Skinner, it's business as usual as the Aussies aim to dominate on the field.
But there's a twist in the tale, as a superstar makes her return to the starting lineup.
This clash marks Skinner's debut as interim coach, stepping into the shoes of the legendary Brad Donald who led the team with great success for many years.
Donald's reign came to an end amidst controversy, with criticism for leaving out Dally M Medal winner Olivia Kernick in last year's Pacific Championships.
Rumors also swirled about Donald's colorful language towards a reporter during the previous tournament.
Skinner, a familiar face in the Jillaroos setup, has seamlessly taken over the reins.
With experience working alongside Donald, Skinner recently guided the women's Indigenous All Stars to victory with a last-minute penalty kick.
While she hasn't made any drastic changes to the powerhouse national team, Skinner has wasted no time in bringing Kernick back into the starting XV for the showdown against England at Allegiant Stadium.
The stage is set for a thrilling encounter as the Jillaroos embark on a new chapter under Skinner's leadership.
