2019 Farah Palmer Cup
Captain: Jess Foster-Lawrence
Coach: Chriss Binns
Asst. Coach: Beven Thompson
Manager: Koren Grason
Tasman won two games and are gradually gaining experience in the Farah Palmer Cup competition. Again, the team was led by Jessica Foster-Lawrence and again she was the outstanding forward. Leah Miles, aged 17, is a highly promising flanker. Wing Rebecca Kersten top-scored with six tries and was the best of the backs. The experienced Wairakau Greig and Jessica Drummond were a very sound midfield pairing.
