Jillaroos score record 124 points in Rugby League World Cup win over Wales

Summary

Australia's Jillaroos beat Wales 124-6 in Pool A of the Women's Rugby League World Cup, with Jaime Chapman scoring six tries. The Guardian reports that the result is a new women's World Cup record for both total score and winning margin, beating the 92-0 win over France in 2022. The 124 points also surpass the men's tournament record of 110-4 that the Kangaroos set against Russia in 2000, although the women's game is 10 minutes shorter than the men's. The Guardian says the 124 points is the highest score in any international rugby league match. The match was a warm-up for the World Cup semi-finals, and the Guardian says the result highlights the gap between the sport's stronger and weaker nations.
