Australia's Jillaroos showcased their dominance with a resounding 60-0 victory over Fetū Sāmoa during their Pacific Championships Test in Brisbane.
The world champion Jillaroos demonstrated their skill by scoring an impressive 11 tries, with standout performances from wingers Julia Robinson and Jessica Sergis, along with fullback Tamika Upton, who each recorded two tries.
Robinson's remarkable performance solidified her status as the most prolific try scorer in Jillaroos' history. She celebrated her 20th Test try with a breathtaking dive to secure a bomb from Jesse Southwell in the second half.
Looking ahead, the Jillaroos are set to face New Zealand at Eden Park next Sunday, followed by a matchup against their long-standing rivals in the Pacific Championships final in Sydney the following week.
Making her debut for the Jillaroos, Southwell, who is bound for the Broncos, impressed with her performance. She developed a strong connection with Upton throughout the match.
Upton quickly made an impact, delivering a precise cut-out pass that led to Sergis's first try, which she followed up with another just nine minutes into the game after supporting co-captain Kezie Apps's line break.
