“It’s a great start to the season – I couldn’t ask for more!”
And with Dennis taking 24 carries throughout the fixture, she spoke on her responsibility as a player in the team.
“I think it is important and is part of working for each other, I take carries, gives others a break, and if I am available to do it, I will do it as it is part of the team.”
Dennis’ game winning try was also her first for the Red Devils, as she continued: “It was a good feeling, but the options are everywhere.
“It happened to open up for me, as it did for lots of other people – but I was so glad to get over it was a good feeling.”

Assistant Coach, Armani Sharrock also gave her reaction to game, but paid a special tribute to Dennis’ performance.
“She’s just different class. She just understands the game, a play ahead every time,” she said.
“I think today she got that little bit of joy in broken field, and she did a lot of work for our middles, took a lot of carries out of yardage and really made their jobs a lot easier.
“But I just think she was great on both sides of the ball.”
