  "account": "England has won 38 consecutive women's rugby Tests, a streak that began in 2022. The Red Roses, England's women's rugby team, are the reigning Rugby World Cup champions and have dominated the sport for years. Their only loss, a 47-7 victory, came to the Wallaroos, Australia's women's rugby team, during the 2022 World Cup. The Wallaroos, however, are not intimidated by England's record. They respect the Red Roses but believe they have the potential to compete with the world champions. Wallaroos players have rallied together and are excited to face the challenge. Assistant coach Mike Ruthven acknowledges England's strengths but identifies potential weaknesses to exploit. Rugby Australia is investing in the Wallaroos' development, aiming to create a program comparable to England's. Despite the daunting odds, the Wallaroos are prepared to compete and compete hard in Sunday's Test match.",
  "summary": "On paper, Australia is not given a chance of beating England in this weekend's WXV Global Series Test, but the Wallaroos refuse to be intimidated.",
