Davis-Welsh leads Sharks to victory with match-winning try in NRLW comeback against Raiders in Canberra.
Former Jillaroos star Nakia Davis-Welsh scored the match winning try in her first NRLW appearance for Cronulla as the Sharks came from behind to continue their unbeaten start to the season with a 24-12 win in Canberra.
Davis-Welsh, who returned to the game last season after playing fullback for Australia in the 2017 World Cup and then becoming pregnant with the first of two children, scored in the 59th minute as the Sharks came from 12-0 down.
A late call-up on the wing by Cronulla coach Tony Herman, Davis-Welsh also saved a try with a tackle on Raiders centre Cheyelle Robins-Reti as the home side looked to increase their lead early in the second half.
