The credibility of international women’s rugby league has taken a hit with the Jillaroos thrashing England as part of the Las Vegas extravaganza intended to showcase the sport to new audiences.
Australia raced the clock throughout the game as they converted a 38-0 half-time lead into a 90-4 flogging which included a whopping 17 tries against a hopelessly outclassed opposition line-up.
Star fullback Tamika Upton raced in five tries in the cakewalk wjhile Jess Sergis and Julia Robinson bagged three each.
Luckily for England, Jillaroos playmaker Tarryn Aiken only landed 11 of her 17 conversion attempts otherwise the Aussies would have cracked the century mark.

The Jillaroos managed six tries in the spcace of 13 minutes early in the second half as the mismatch turned ugly for the English side.
It got worse for England with England prop Vicky Whitfield helped from the field after suffering a heavy head knock.
Georgia Roche provided the only bright spot for England when she scored in the penultimate minute to stem the bleeding and at least avoid being held scoreless.
