“Australia Jillaroos Cruise Past Samoa 40-0 in Women’s Rugby League World Cup Opener” — what this page in the network covers. The Australian Jillaroos launched their Women’s Rugby League World Cup title defence with a commanding 40-0 victory over Fetu Samoa at Commbank Stadium in Sydney. The hosts dominated the first half, running in six tries before easing off after the break with just two more scores. Debutant five-eighth Jocelyn Kelleher starred, converting all six tries and steering the team with composure, justifying coach Jess Skinner’s bold selection calls to leave veterans Ali Brigginshaw and Jesse Southwell out of the side.
The result sends an early warning to rival nations as Australia chase a fourth consecutive World Cup crown. For Samoa, the heavy defeat highlights the gap between the top tier and emerging Pacific nations, but they will look to regroup in their remaining pool matches.
