Leeds Rhinos’ women have scored 142 points and conceded only four in their opening two games this season, but rising star Beth Macmillan expects a much tougher test on Sunday.
After beating Leigh Leopards 52-4 and Hull KR 92-0, Rhinos will secure a place in the Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup quarter-finals if they get past Huddersfield Giants at West Park Rugby Union Club .The game is also be a rehearsal for the sides’ meeting in Women’s Super League round one, at AMT Headingley 12 days later. Giants have won both their group matches and Macmillan warned: “We haven’t been up against a Super League team yet this season and we haven’t really been tested.
“They’ve been very welcoming to me, I am involved a lot at the moment and I’m fortunate to have been selected for the games, so it’s going really well. “It is an absolutely massive step up , in every facet of the team - the help behind the scenes and on game days, everything is so much higher. Leeds have always been a massive team, so it is a dream to be playing for them.
