NSW prosper and Melbourne fall in Super W

NSW are the first team into the Super W final, but Melbourne have suffered a second huge loss in the five-team women's 15-a-side rugby competition.

Melbourne, who were coming off a bye after losing 85-13 to the Western Force in their first game, were smashed 60-0 by Queensland at Ballymore on Sunday.

Queensland ran in nine tries, with centre Sarah Riordan notching a hat-trick by the 45th-minute mark, after she commenced the scoring soon after the start.

Five-eighth Lavinia Gould bagged 15 points from six conversions and a penalty, as Queensland notched a second win from three matches.

The home team led 27-0 at the break having scored four tries.

Melbourne had centre Tessa Brown sin-binned in the second half.

Unbeaten NSW remained top of the ladder after making it three wins out of three with a 24-5 home victory over the Brumbies at Sydney's Pittwater Park on Saturday.

Five-eighth Chloe Leaupepe dominated the NSW scoring, accounting for 19 of their points.

NSW have a bye next week when Melbourne host the Brumbies at AAMI Park on Good Friday and the Western Force host Queensland at Kingsway Reserve on Saturday.
