Australia's Jillaroos beat Wales 124–6 — the biggest win in women's international rugby league history
Australia's Jillaroos have beaten Wales 124–6 at CommBank Stadium, Sydney, in the Women's Rugby League World Cup on Sunday 1 November 2026 — a record 118-point margin that NRL.com, the league's own site, calls the biggest in Jillaroos history, and which AAP reports surpassed France's 116–0 win over Serbia in 2023 as the heaviest victory in the history of the international women's game. Australia led 60–0 at half-time — the biggest half-time score in Rugby League World Cup history, per NRL.com — and ran in 21 tries in all: Jaime Chapman scored six, equalling the Jillaroos record for tries in a game, Jess Sergis scored four, and Jesse Southwell kicked 20 conversions from 21 attempts and scored a try for 44 points, a new Jillaroos record. Wales's try, from Paige Travis just before the hour, was the first points scored against the Jillaroos in the whole tournament. The win sends Australia into a semi-final against Fiji next Sunday at Allianz Stadium.
