Australia reach World Cup final after Fiji scare
Australia have reached their fifth successive Women's Rugby League World Cup final as they seek a fourth consecutive title - but they were made to work harder than anyone expected.
Australia reached their fifth successive Women's Rugby League World Cup final, after overcoming a surprise challenge from debutants Fiji. The tournament favourites made a spectacular start, scoring a try within four minutes, and led 8-0 at the break. However, Australia's star player Abbi Church helped restore order with four tries, leading her side to a 30-14 victory. Australia will now face New Zealand in the final next Sunday in Brisbane.
