The Wallaroos have made a record-breaking entry into the women's Rugby World Cup party in England, Desiree Miller speeding over for three of their 11 tries as they pummelled brave but outgunned Samoa 73-0 in their biggest win in the tournament's history.
Winger Miller starred in a brilliant first-half performance from Australia's rugby women at the Salford Community Stadium in Manchester on Saturday, wrapping up her treble in just over half-an-hour as the slick 'Roos blitzed seven tries in just 33 minutes.
But the Samoans, faced with conceding a three-figure score, regrouped courageously, starved the Aussies of possession until another late burst of excellence saw the 'Roos plough over for three late scores.
