Australia have shown no mercy in a ruthless 78-0 demolition of England in their Rugby League World Cup clash in Perth on Saturday night.
The Jillaroos crossed 15 times with the only downside of the night perhaps being Jocelyn Kelleher missing six conversions, although she did still rack up 26 points in a superb outing in just her second appearance.
The victory makes it two from two for the raging favourites, who are chasing their fourth-straight World Cup.
Jamie Chapman got the ball rolling with two tries inside five minutes before Kelleher scored either side of a Julia Robinson try to already lay the foundations for a big win.
Isabelle Kelly and Abbi Church rounded out the dominant first half.
The scoring didn’t stop in the second half as England simply had no answers. Their only bright spot was a disallowed try as the Aussies were just as good in defence as they were going forward.
Speaking after the match, Kelleher admitted she was surprised she scored 26 points.
“That’s pretty cool, I definitely didn’t know that ... but the wind definitely wasn’t my friend out there with the goal kicks, I had a bit of trouble,” she told Seven after the match.
“That’s a pretty cool stat to have and I’ll hold it pretty close to my heart.
“It’s been incredible to be out here wearing this jersey ... to get 26 points in my second game is pretty epic I’d say.”
More to come ...
