Australia's 'Jillaroos' have clinched a record fourth Women's Rugby League World Cup, blowing away New Zealand's 'Kiwi Ferns' with a commanding 34-10 victory in Brisbane. This win marks their fourth consecutive World Cup title, solidifying their position as the dominant force in women's rugby league.
The match saw a sensational performance from Jaime Chapman, who scored a hat-trick of tries and was named player of the match. Her second try, just 15 minutes into the final, effectively put the game beyond doubt as Australia raced to an early lead.
The Jillaroos ran in six tries to New Zealand's one in the opening 35 minutes, including an initial burst of 24 unanswered points. Despite New Zealand improving in the second half and preventing Australia from scoring, the damage was already done. Australia's unbeaten run in World Cup matches now stretches to 16 games, a streak that began in July 2013.
