Aussie champion's World Cup in doubt after hospital visit

Julia Robinson’s Rugby League World Cup may be in doubt after the Jillaroos star centre injured her left wrist during Australia’s 78-0 rout of England in Perth on Saturday. Robinson suffered the injury in the 20th minute while attempting a tackle and was taken to hospital before the half ended, with coach Jess Skinner saying she is “getting scans done.” The hosts otherwise dominated, scoring 15 tries at HBF Park. Jaime Chapman led with two tries inside six minutes, with Jocelyn Kelleher, Isabelle Kelly and Abbi Church also crossing twice apiece. England captain Jodie Cunningham was taken to hospital for an ear injury. Australia’s semi-final spot is secured after wins over Samoa and England, while England must still beat Samoa to qualify.
