The Fiji National Rugby League Women’s Rise Rookies have ramped up their training for their international matches against the Canada Raven.

The fitness test yesterday was carefully put together to check all the key areas players need for rugby league.

It included a Strength Test to measure muscle power and core stability with Speed and Endurance Test to see how fit the players are for a game and how quickly they can recover.

These matches are a huge step for the FNRL women’s development.
