A hat-trick to Kiana Takairangi and a double to NSW representative Corban McGregor did the damage for the NSW City team in the first half to help them on their way to a 46-0 win over Combined Affiliated States.
The City team were in the lead 36-0 at halftime after dominating possession; but faced much sterner opposition from the CAS team in the second as they only let in two tries, including a third for McGregor.
