Abbi Church powers Australia to win over spirited Fiji as hosts reach Women's Rugby League World Cup final

Abbi Church’s four-try haul powered Australia to a 30-14 win over Fiji Bulikula, sending the Jillaroos into the Women’s Rugby League World Cup final against New Zealand next weekend at Lang Park. Fiji led for much of the first half and were level at halftime, driven by playmaker Luisa Yaranamua. Australia then flipped the contest in a steadier second spell as Church scored a spectacular try after a Tarryn Aiken kick and added a late runaway to break the game open. The Jillaroos, though, face an injury worry for winger Jaime Chapman after a quad injury forced her off.
