Moran has played rugby league and touch as well as captained, coached and refereed league tag. 

Her skill across these sports left no doubt in selectors’ minds that she would be an asset to the Australian indigenous women’s team for the World Cup, held in Coffs Harbour. 

Moran had three training sessions to get used to the game, which is played on a smaller field than rugby league, and helped the team reach the quarter finals. 

“At training sessions, and even before competition kicked off i was so nervous because I didn't know what i was getting myself into, especially because I have not played Oztag before,” she told The Armidale Express. 

“I have played league tag which is quite similar but i found Oztag to be a very fast-paced game which challenged me a bit.

“I would definitely do it all over again and hopefully i get the opportunity to play again next year.

“The atmosphere was great and it was an amazing experience to be a part of.”

Moran hadn’t met any of her teammates before suiting up for the Cup. 

“It was great meeting and seeing a lot of people come together from all around the world to participate in the Oztag World Cup,” she said. 

“Before the World Cup began we had three training sessions together which helped us all get to know each others names and gel together.

“All the women in the team were great and they really made me feel welcome and part of the team which made it a lot easier for me to play and just be myself.”
