Australia has already qualified for the semifinals of the women's Rugby League World Cup, and will be keen to continue their momentum with a win over Wales. Follow live.
As Australia already secured their place in the semifinals of the Women's Rugby League World Cup, they aim to maintain their impressive form by defeating Wales. Tonight, two teams from the pool stages, Samoa and Tonga, will compete in the final match. England is hoping for an unexpected result to earn a spot in the semifinals.
Wales made several changes from their previous team that suffered a heavy defeat to Samoa. Ffion Lewis will start at five-eighth in place of Amberley Ruck, while Carys Marsh replaces the bench player at hooker. Jasmine Gibbons is not included in the lineup. Lucia Davies joins the bench, and Katie Carr is absent.
The Australia team received a late addition to their interchange bench, with Sheridan Gallagher (number 22) joining. The team boasts an impressive roster, having recently beaten England. Jessica Sergis, Julia Robinson's replacement, starts at center after the tournament-ending injury. Jesse Southwell begins at five-eighth following Jocelyn Kelleher's departure. The new forward pack is absent from the starting lineup, except for Olivia Kernick at lock.
The time of the Women's Rugby League World Cup match between Australia and Wales varies by Australian state and territory, as well as internationally.
