The Australian team scored eight tries in total, while Scotland managed only one. The loss brought Scotland's winless streak to eight games, including four defeats in the new competition. Australia started strong, with Katie Buchanan scoring a try in the fifth minute of the game. However, Scotland quickly responded with a try from Katie Buchanan in the same minute. After half-time, Australia took control of the game and created a commanding lead of 35-5 by the break. Despite Scotland's efforts, including a try from their captain Rachel Malcolm, they could not match Australia's scoring spree. In the closing moments of the match, Eva Karpani added a final try for Australia, sealing the victory for the visitors.",
