Stewart told the Leader she was eager to play sevens at representative level.
"I think all of us will go quite well during the country championships," Stewart said.
"To be honest, it would have been nice to maybe have a trial game or two before jumping into it, but it is still very exciting."
Stewart said the club's multiple representative selections was a testament to the group's progress.
"To go from only having one representative player in 2018 to having six females across three teams this year is extraordinary," she said.
"We have a lot to thank our coaches for and it will be really exciting to have Lincoln Stewart as an assistant for the sevens side as well.
"It is massive for us to have come this far in such a short time, I'm really looking forward to seeing what's next."
