Harvey Norman National Championships: Day 2 live blog

The First Nation Gems kept their unbeaten streak alive with a hard-fought 4-0 victory over the Australian Defence Force to start day two in Redcliffe.

An amazing individual effort from Gems centre Robyn Draper, who showed some classy footwork to break the deadlock, proved the difference in an entertaining game. 

Gems forward Janaya Trapman was equally as impressive with some strong carries. 

The ADF had two chances to strike back before the siren but failed to deliver the final pass close to the line.

Western Australia has continued their strong start to the Championships to end the Gems' three-game winning streak with a 4-0 win.

In another tight contest to start the day, both sides had their opportunities in attack before WA back-rower Melissa Thomas split the Gems defence in the 10th minute.

A strong performance from WA centre Ariana Hira has helped the state to their third win of the tournament with a 16-0 triumph over South Australia.

Hira crossed for a double and helped set up another two as the right edge proved too strong against a gallant SA side who will back up against Victoria in the fourth game of the day.

Victoria opened their account at the Championships with a 22-0 win over South Australia.

AFLW convert Brooke Walker starred for the Victorian side with a weaving effort to the line before slotting three goals.

Victoria made it two from two on day two of the Championships with a grinding 4-0 win over Northern Territory.

Victorian five-eighth Brooke Walker was in the thick of the action again to help send lock Pamela Bowden O'Leary over the line to break the deadlock.

Under 19s (2 x 20min halves)

Sapphires hooker Destiny Brill starred as the Queensland outfit made it two from two for the tournament with a 24-0 win over an inexperienced Victorian side. 

Brill scored the opening try of the day before setting up Tiamo Williams for the side's second. 

Williams grabbed a double to finish the side's win ahead of their showdown with NSW City on Saturday.

NSW City continued their successful start to the tournament with a 48-0 win over Western Australia.

NSW City, made up predominantly of players in the dominant Tarsha Gale Cup, faced an inexperienced WA side who fought bravely in the first half.

Early tries to Leilani Wilson, Fatafehi Hanisi and Zoe Cass set the tone early before City ran in a further six tries in the second period. 

The Queensland Rubys remain unbeaten in the tournament following a 32-6 win over Northern Territory.

The Rubys led 6-0 early before a barnstorming effort from Ciara Aigea got NT on the board, much to the excitement of her teammates.

NT went close to scoring again before fulltime but were brought to the ground despite a long-range effort. 

NSW Country cruised to a comfortable 54-0 win over South Australia in the final game of the day in Redcliffe.

South Australia, who are made up of some very inexperienced rugby league players, were gallant in defeat but no match for a NSW Country line-up that will go close to challenging for the title.

A double to Keele Browne led the way in the 10-try win.
