They did not lose a game and were the first Australian team to defeat an International side, which was second in the world rankings.He was fortunate to have at his disposal a team of Queenslanders; athletic with outstanding skills and a steely professional attitude, who were equal to anyone representing their state. Their results may never be realised in Australian women's rugby again.Tasi was awarded the Australian Sports Medal in the year 2000 (struck to commemorate the new millennium) for his dedication and achievements in rugby.
