Records tumble as merciless Jillaroos destroy Wales in Rugby League World Cup
Pool A: Jillaroos 124-6 Wales Win sets new highest score for international rugby league The record-breaking Jillaroos have warmed up for the challenge of the World Cup semi-finals with a destruction of Wales that highlights the gulf between rugby league haves and have nots. The 124-6 victory sets a new women’s World Cup record score and winning margin, eclipsing the 92-0 win recorded by Australia over France in 2022.
The Jillaroos even went past the men’s tournament record – set by the Kangaroos in a 110–4 humbling of Russia in 2000 – even though the women’s game involves 10 minutes fewer than the men’s. Their 124 points was also the highest score ever recorded in an international rugby league match.
