The Wallaroos have booked themselves a World Cup quarter-final berth after stampeding through Wales 13-7 in Whangarei to secure their second-successive win of the tournament and lock themselves into the tournament’s final eight.
Iliseva Batibasaga’s first-half try, eight points from Lori Cramer’s boot and a dominant display at the breakdown were the cornerstones of the victory, as the Wallaroos build crucial momentum in their quest to dethrone New Zealand’s all-conquering Black Ferns on home turf and win their first World Cup at this ninth staging of the event.
