Wales hit by Australia century in World Cup record
Wales women concede 21 tries in Sydney as defending Rugby League World Cup champions Australia rewrite the international record books.
Australia registered the largest margin of victory in international rugby league history as they dominated Wales in a World Cup match. The Jillaroos amassed 21 tries in a heavily one-sided contest, amassing a staggering 124 points to Wales' mere 6. The half-time score of 60-0 marked the largest margin of any World Cup match, while Australia's 124-6 win remains the largest margin in women's World Cup history.
Wing Jaime Chapman scored a crucial sixth try in the final minute, ensuring the Australians broke Denmark's previous record of 122-8 against Sweden in 2012. Wales' Paige Travis scored the team's first-ever try against Australia, but it came too late to salvage a win.
