Ruthless Australia win record fourth Women's World Cup

Australia secured a record fourth Women's World Cup title with a commanding 34-10 victory over New Zealand in Brisbane. Jaime Chapman was the standout player, scoring a tournament-leading 13 tries and delivering a breathtaking acrobatic dive into the corner. The Australian team dominated the first half, scoring six tries, including a hat-trick from Chapman, who opened the scoring after just 125 seconds.

New Zealand managed to score a consolation try in the second half, but it was too little, too late as Australia maintained their record of unbeaten performances in World Cup matches, stretching back to July 2013. The team scored 306 points while conceding just 30 throughout the tournament. Head coach Jess Skinner's tactical decisions, such as selecting Chapman ahead of Jocelyn Kelleher at stand-off, proved crucial to Australia's success.
