  "account": "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.",
