RU:Physical win but no bonus point for Waratahs women

Wallaroos star Desiree Miller has scored two tries as well as producing a perfect performance with the boot to lead the NSW Waratahs to a 42-29 win over Fijian Drua in the Super Rugby Women's opener at Leichhardt Oval.

The Waratahs blitzed the Drua early, scoring four unanswered tries in the first 28 minutes - including two to outside centre Georgina Friedrichs - to lead 28-3 and set the tone for Saturday's match.

Miller scored one of those tries in the early blitz with a bustling run down the wing, and she completed her double in the 66th minute to kill off the Drua's comeback attempt.

It wasn't just on the try sheet where Miller starred, with the winger converting all six of the Waratahs' penalties to add the icing on the cake.
