Bremner is racing the clock to be fit for Saturday’s final against New Zealand after missing Sunday’s semi-final win over Canada due to a niggling leg injury.
The Helensburgh star got through the side’s training run the day prior but ruled herself out believing she wasn’t yet 100 per cent.
Coach Brad Donald is faced with a cut-throat decision whether to include his star Bremner, or whether to stick with Redfern-based Davis-Welsh, who has been a standout since debuting in the tournament opener.
‘‘Sammy’s a great person on and off the field. She was really supportive of me, so no matter what I’d be happy,” Davis Welsh told AAP.
“Brad’s a really good coach and he knows what he’s doing and whatever he does will be best for the team.’’
Should Bremner return on Saturday, Davis-Welsh would likely slot in at centre or on the wing having played outside of Bremner for NSW the past two years
‘‘Even if (Bremner) came back for this, it wouldn’t make a difference because I love wing as well,” she said.
“Just being here - I’d be stoked even if I was on the bench.’’
