Wallaroos demolish Fijiana 15s 64-5

The Vodafone Fijiana 15s side were outclassed by the Wallaroos 64-5 in a one-sided game that showed the classic dominance of the Australian team who controlled the game from the beginning.

The Wallaroos were attacking the Fijiana line from the get-go and the Fijians kept their composure for the first twelve minutes of the game holding back a spirited Wallaroos attack.

Wallaroos Head Coach Jo Yapp says the team included a mix of experienced campaigners and four potential debutants.

Wallaroos fly-half Arabella McKenzie stood out in the match, scoring four tries.

Australia dominated possession but couldn’t turn their attacking pressure into points as Fiji’s defensive wall stood strong.

Adita Milinia scored Fijiana’s first and only unconverted try of the game to take an early lead.

The Wallaroos kept putting the pressure on and were rewarded with winger Desiree Miller getting one back for the Aussies in the 15th minute, and the winger scored again a couple of minutes later.

As for Fiji, errors and poor discipline began to creep into their game.

Australia made the most of those inaccuracies with Prop Eva Karpani scoring from a rolling maul.

It was the Miller show, though, with the NSW Waratahs speedster adding a third with 10 minutes left to play in the half. The hat trick was complete and left the Wallaroos in a strong position with a 24-5 lead at halftime.

Miller continued her scoring sensation in the 50 minutes of the second half to extend the lead further.

Siokapesi Palu, Cecilia Smith, Trilleen Pomare, Tiarna Molloy, and Bridie O’Gorman also got on the scoresheet as the Wallaroos showcased the best of their attacking flair in a commanding win.
