SEE THE FULL INJURY REPORT BELOW.

01:36

Beth Lynch: Shoulder, Test

"Beth has successfully returned to full contact team training," Morrison said. 

"If she pulls up well from main training on Thursday, she will be up for selection."

Caitlin Greiser: General Soreness, Test

"G had a few hard contests in the game that have left her quite sore," Morrison said.

"She is improving every day, and similar to Beth, if she is able to get through main training on Thursday, then she will be up for selection."

Sarah Hosking: Hamstring, 3-5 weeks

"Sarah has pulled up quite sore after her reintegration to full contact," Morrison said.

"We will take a measured approach in making sure her pain settles down before we push her towards games again."

04:40

Tessa Lavey: Hamstring, 6-8 weeks

"Unfortunately, Tessa re-injured her hamstring at training late last week," Morrison said.

"She has a large amount of chronic load behind her, so we will take our time to settle the pain and not rush her back into speed. She was back running very quickly, which is a great sign for Tessa."

Montana McKinnon: ACL, TBC

"Montana had her final tick of testing late last week," Morrison said.

"We are just waiting for a full interpretation of the results, but we are hoping for her to begin match play this week."
