Fresh from being recalled to the under 18’s Brumbies side, the star sevens and 15s player threw her support behind a plucky Tricollettes vying for premiership glory in only their second season of competition rugby.
“We’re still a new side but having played both seasons so far, I’ve been able to see a lot of improvement from the girls this year,” Miller said on Wednesday.
“We have been fortunate enough to attract new players who have injected speed and strength to our team and there’s so much potential across the board.
“Now we are a very strong team made up of a great bunch of girls and we’re always up for a rough game of rugby.”

Miller paid tribute to the side’s inspirational coach Trevor Reid and said the team was in good hands ahead of what shapes to be another classic showdown between the Tricollettes and Tuskerettes.
“Trevor is always encouraging us to go all the way and we should be in a good place for Temora this weekend,” she said.
“Every game against Temora is close and we’ve only been beaten by them once this season.
“I think this weekend will be a challenge but it’s nothing that the Tricollettes can’t handle.”
Meanwhile the Tricolours continue to knuckle down ahead of a bruising encounter with the third-placed Tuskers on Saturday afternoon.
Both sides have traded wins this season and with second place in the Southern Division on the line, Saturday’s victor will likely secure a home final for the upcoming GrainCorp Cup elimination series.
