NSW Waratahs winger Maya Stewart isn't one to focus on records, but she took a moment to celebrate her special achievement over the weekend.
Stewart became the first player to 200 points after her two-try tally during their 36-14 win over the Queensland Reds.

Amazingly, every single point has come via tries, with Stewart putting together a ten and nine-game try-scoring streak since her debut in 2019.
It reflects her dominance since bursting onto the scene, also holding the Wallaroos try-scoring record with five-pointers in her last seven games.
“It’s probably not something I think about too often,” she said to reporters.
“It’s really cool doing it for a team like the Waratahs.
“We all play for each other, and they’re some of my best mates.
“To be able just to do my job within the team — sometimes that means putting the ball over the line — is really cool.”
Stewart lifted to the occasion of facing a Queensland Reds side full of Sevens stars.
“It’s awesome to have them involved, and they bring so much athleticism and rugby knowledge,” she believes.
“It also brings more eyes on Super W, which is great for the game. It makes us step up and fight harder, whether that’s in training, in the gym, or on the field.”
With the Waratahs on a bye this weekend, Stewart and the squad were eager to build on the momentum in their trial against Penina Pasifika.
"We’re always trying to put on an entertaining brand of footy,” Stewart added.
“That game against Queensland was a step in the right direction, and we want to keep pushing ourselves.
“With a strong squad and a lot of depth, we’re in a great position moving forward."
