Jillaroos defeat England 78-0 at Rugby League World Cup
Jocelyn Kelleher scored 26 points in her second appearance as Australia recorded their second win of the tournament in Perth.
Australia scored 15 tries and kept England scoreless in a 78-0 Rugby League World Cup victory in Perth, making it two wins from two matches for the Jillaroos.
Jamie Chapman scored twice within the opening five minutes to give Australia an early advantage. Jocelyn Kelleher then added two tries, with Julia Robinson scoring between them.
Isabelle Kelly and Abbi Church also crossed before half-time. Australia continued scoring after the break, while England had a try disallowed and finished without a point.
Kelleher contributed 26 points despite missing six conversion attempts. Speaking after the match, she said she had not realised her points tally and that the wind had made goal-kicking difficult.
It was only Kelleher’s second appearance, and she said representing Australia and reaching that tally had been a memorable experience.
The result gave the Jillaroos another victory in their campaign for a fourth consecutive World Cup title.
