World warned as Jillaroos rewrite history books in pursuit for title

Australia’s Jillaroos have rewritten the rugby league history books after thrashing Wales 122-6 in Wales’ final World Cup match. Australia comfortably met expectations in their last group-stage game, with multiple players scoring tries and the margin building steadily. Jaime Chapman led the try-scoring with six, while Jessica Sergis added four. Keilee Joseph and Abbi Church each scored twice in the second half, with further tries from Olivia Kernick, Jesse Southwell, Kezie Apps and Sariah Paki. The win threatened the record for the largest international victory, previously set by the Kangaroos’ 106-point difference over Russia in 2000. Australia will face Fiji in the semi-finals next Sunday.
