Grace Hamilton named at No.8 for Waratahs in Super W grand final

Although Hamilton and her Waratahs haven't lost a game since the competition's inception, going through last year undefeated and doing the same thus far in 2019, NSW coach Matt Evrard is firmly of the opinion none of that counts.

It's what happens on Sunday that matters, although he is confident considering the Waratahs' big-game experience and ability to produce in the clutch.

"It's a final, so you can throw most things out the window," Evrard said.

"It will be the team who plays their best game on the day and makes the least errors. That's what it will come down to.

"I'm confident in our team, confident in how they've prepared. It's always good to play Queensland, you get that quality game.

"As a group they are extremely good as a group at keeping themselves motivated... they constantly keep pushing themselves.... they're not undefeated for no reason."

For one of the Waratahs' group Sunday's decider will be extra special, flanker Emily Chancellor was forced to watch last year's grand final win from the sideline due to injury.

Naturally, she won't die wondering this weekend.

"Unfortunately missed out last year, but excited to step out with the girls this year," Chancellor said.

"There is no grand final you're going to play that isn't going to be a good competition, I'm sure it's going to be a good battle.

"I think we've seen throughout the whole Super W season the standard has lifted across the board."

Finishing the regular season on top of the ladder not only earned NSW a home grand final for the second year running but also earned them a week off, which Chancellor said has been crucial.

"I think for us it was an opportunity to reflect on the season we've had, celebrate minor premiership, fix a few niggles from the season and focus fully on the next game," Chancellor said.

Kick-off is at 4.30pm on Sunday afternoon.
