NRLW: The PNG Orchids were reduced to 12 after Sera Koroi was sent off for an extremley dangerous tackle.
Revenge is a dish best served piping hot as the Jillaroos trounced the Kiwi Ferns 24-4 to make up for last year’s shock loss in the Pacific Cup final, with Australia only conceding their first points of the tournament in the final two minutes.After they had their seven-year winning streak snapped by New Zealand 12 months ago, the World Cup champions flexed their muscles at CommBank Stadium with a thumping win over their biggest rivals.
Karyn Murphy Medal winner Tarryn Aiken got the ball rolling when she skipped out of a tackle to set up Julia Robinson for the opening try, before champion centre Isabelle Kelly continued her remarkable year when she fended out of a tackle and sped away to score. Wearing the six on her back, Brigginshaw was happy to take a back seat early on as halves partner Tarryn Aiken carved up on the left edge.
And while Brigginshaw might be the GOAT, the future is in safe hands after Aiken had another cracking game at halfback and iced the win in the second half when she dummied and sliced through to score the sealer.They may have shocked the world last year, but the Kiwi Ferns still have a long way to go if they want to seriously contend with Australia going forward.
