Yep, in terms of return to play she's had a graduated return over two games with increasing minutes so theoretically she should be firing on all cylinders! Let's just win it in regulation time though eh? I think she will be jumping out of her skin so go Sam, go Tillies!

You’ve got to pull the Bugatti out of the shed, even if it’s only firing on 12 cylinders instead of 16. Go Tillies!
