Wallaroos Dominate Wales 36-5 to Draw Test Series Pre-World Cup

The Wallaroos secured a commanding 36-5 victory over Wales in Sydney, leveling their two-match Test series ahead of the Women's Rugby World Cup. Australia overcame last week's upset loss in Brisbane, demonstrating strong defense and clinical execution despite wet conditions at North Sydney Oval. Key performances included Tabua Tuinakauvadra's two tries and Maya Stewart scoring in her final Test before the World Cup, while Wales struggled with an early injury to co-captain Alex Callender and a sin-bin for prop Gwenllian Pyrs. The win reflects significant progress in the Australian women's rugby program, with captain Emily Chancellor highlighting improved preparation and team cohesion since the previous World Cup in 2022. Wales, coached by Sean Lynn, will now focus on their World Cup opener against Scotland, while the Wallaroos prepare to face Samoa in their tournament opener. The dominant display by Australia sends a strong message to World Cup rivals about their readiness and potential.
