'She's nuts': NSW great set to break club record

When Wallaroos prop Emily Robinson runs onto the field for the Super Rugby Women’s decider at Ballymore on Sunday, she will become the NSW Waratahs’ most-capped female player of all time.

But the golden number — 33 appearances — reflects just a fraction of Robinson’s decorated career in rugby union and the storied history of the Waratahs’ women’s program.

After a two-year hiatus from the sport, Robinson began training with the Warringah Rats’ open women’s team in Sydney’s Shute Shield competition — she was just 14 at the time.

From there, Robinson began playing for Sydney Women’s in the National Women’s Championship in 2011 and made her Wallaroos debut in 2016.
