Jillaroos avoid all-time upset to progress to World Cup final
The Jillaroos have qualified for the Rugby League World Cup final, but only after surviving an almighty scare against tournament debutant Fiji at Sydney Football Stadium.
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.
