Jillaroos captain Sam Bremner has been ruled out of Saturday's rugby league Test against New Zealand due to injury.Veteran Karina Brown has been rushed into camp in Brisbane ahead of the team's flight to Auckland on Tuesday."We've got plenty of experienced players in the squad, with many of the team having played the Kiwis on multiple occasions, including Karina," coach Brad Donald said on Monday."It's unfortunate to be losing our
captain for such a big match."But I know Sam will be cheering the team on and we look forward to welcoming her back from injury as soon as possible."It comes as the Australian women's team that has been on song declared how wary they are of a Kiwi Ferns rival dubbed "The Jukebox".Australia are the yardstick of the women's game after going through 2017 undefeated, claiming 10 consecutive wins including a second straight World Cup final victory over the Kiwi Ferns.Yet the world No.1 Jillaroos reckon they won't have it all their own way in Auckland thanks to the presence of Teuila Fotu-Moala.
