Wallaroos scare England but fail 'mission impossible'
The Wallaroos give world champions England a scare in Salford, but the Australians cannot take advantage of a half-time lead as the Roses secure a thumping victory.
In a highly anticipated match, Wallaroos rugby team lost to England with a score of 48-15 in Salford. Despite leading at halftime, 10-5, England's world champions went on to dominate the second half, scoring eight tries to secure the victory. Wallaroos captain Siokapesi Palu Sekona expressed disappointment, stating that the final score did not reflect the game's intensity.
The English women's rugby team had not trailed at halftime since 2019, making this a rare occurrence. Wallaroos coach John Mitchell was pleased with his team's performance, noting their improvement since winning the European grand slam in May. However, Australia deserves praise for their efforts, controlling the breakdown and defending strongly, even when down to 14 players for ten minutes. The Wallaroos will now face France in Marseille next weekend.
