The NSW Blues star casually dropped the f-bomb before instantly realising her mistake, dropping another swear word in her ‘oh s***’ response.

The Olympic gold medallist is fast becoming on of the top players in Women’s Rugby League and played a starring role in NSW’s victory in the second Origin clash.

The former Sevens flyer opened the scoring for NSW by latching onto a grubber kick before it went dead in goal.

The Origin victory to help the Blues reclaim the shield was another special moment for the St George Illawarra fullback, after a meteoric rise in her first NRLW season, leading her side to a grand final and winning the Dally M Medal as the game’s best player.

Tonegato will now have her sights on earning the No 1 jersey for the Jillaroos at this year’s World Cup.

The Australian Sevens star has gone all-in on rugby league after several years on the Sevens circuit with Australia.
