Jillaroos Claim Biggest-Ever Women's International Win
Australia posted the largest first-half margin in Rugby League World Cup history, scoring 60 points before halftime and extending its unbeaten start.
On Sunday, the Australia Jillaroos defeated Wales 124-6 at Western Sydney Stadium, setting a new record for the largest victory in international women's rugby league history.
Australia led 60-0 at half-time, the largest first-half score and margin in World Cup history, while maintaining 84% of possession and completing 21 of 22 sets.
Jaime Chapman scored six tries and Jessica Sergis added four, while Jesse Southwell landed 20 of 21 conversions as the team registered 23 line-breaks.
Wales finally breached the Australian line in the 59th minute when Paige Travis pounced on a Tayla Preston grubber, marking the first points conceded by the Jillaroos this tournament.
Next Sunday, the Jillaroos will face Fiji in a semi-final match at Allianz Stadium as they continue their bid to defend their World Cup title.
