Australia dominated England in a record-breaking 90-4 victory at Allegiant Stadium, exposing a significant gap in talent between the NRLW and England's Women's Super League.

The margin of defeat was England's worst ever, with a last-minute try from Georgia Roche preventing a complete whitewash.

In light of this defeat, England coach Craig Barrow is considering recruiting NRLW heritage players to improve the team's competitiveness.
