Australia v England: women’s Rugby League World Cup – live

* Updates as the Jillaroos and England meet at HBF Park * Kick-off time in Perth is 5.05pm local/8.05pm AEDT/10.05am BST * Any thoughts? Get in touch with an email Hello and welcome back to the Rugby League World Cup! It has been a lot of fun so far, with plenty of fans getting behind the teams and lots of colour and excitement across the venues. Tonight we have the Australian Jillaroos taking on England for the first time since that very memorable match in Las Vegas in 2025 when the Jillaroos won 90-4. I was in the live blog hotspot for that one and it was a real challenge to keep up with that many tries being scored. I don’t think we’ll see a scoreline like that tonight – both the English team and my typing fingers will be grateful if we don’t. Both teams had extremely dominant wins in round 1. Australia shook off an error-ridden start to defeat Samoa 40-0, while England piled on the tries against Wales to win 70-6. Isabel Rowe was the standout for England in that win, with two tries and nine conversions to her name. The 19-year-old halfback plays for the Wigan Warriors in the Women’s Super League and will be instrumental to England’s chances against the reigning World Cup champions tonight. Continue reading...
