"We can definitely say that ill-discipline was the reason why we probably weren't able to play the rugby game that we wanted, captain Siokapesi Palu Sekona said post-match."
"Playing a host nation, they're always going to have an advantage in that space, but there's no excuse from our end."
"We've always been an us-versus-us mentality, and what it means is that we've got a lot of work to do once we go back."
The Wallaroos faced a 33-12 defeat against the United States in a Pacific Four Series rugby match, delayed by nearly three hours due to severe weather. Despite a strong start with Desiree Miller's try narrowing the gap to two points, the US scored three unanswered tries. Australia struggled with discipline, conceding nine first-half penalties and holding only 30% possession. Captain Siokapesi Palu Sekona acknowledged the need for improvement and emphasized the team's focus on upcoming matches, particularly against New Zealand on Anzac Day.
