Jaime Chapman scores six tries in record-breaking win
The record-breaking Jillaroos have warmed up for the challenge of the World Cup semi-finals with a destruction of Wales that highlights the gulf between rugby league haves and have nots.
The 124-6 victory sets a new women’s World Cup record score and winning margin, eclipsing the 92-0 win recorded by Australia over France in 2022. The Jillaroos even went past the men’s tournament record – set by the Kangaroos in a 110–4 humbling of Russia in 2000 – even though the duration of the women’s game is 10 minutes fewer than the men’s. Their 124 points was also the highest score recorded in an international rugby league match.
