"The 27-year-old winger notched her 20th Test try with a stunning dive to catch a Jesse Southwell bomb, flying 5m through the air to catch the ball and score in the Pacific Cup clash at Suncorp Stadium. Australia will now play New Zealand at Eden Park next Sunday and back up against their long-time rivals the following week for the final in Sydney."
"Broncos-bound half Southwell impressed on debut and forged a strong linking partnership with fullback Tamika Upton. Jillaroos superstar Upton, who had her fingerprints all over the win, was quick to make her mark on the match with a pinpoint cutout pass for winger Jessica Sergis. Sergis had a double inside nine minutes after she backed up co-captain Kezie Apps' line break."
"Samoa fullback Destiny Mino-Sinapati was controversially sin-binned in the 14th minute for picking up the ball in the ruck when ruled to be not square at marker by referee Kasey Badger. Upton raced 50m for a solo try that she made look ridiculously easy for a 16-0 lead. Lock Olivia Kernick followed a crafty grubber by bench rake Quincy Dodd to score and continue the carnage."
Julia Robinson became the most prolific try-scorer in Jillaroos history by scoring her 20th Test try with a spectacular dive to catch a Jesse Southwell bomb, flying five metres to score. Australia defeated Samoa 60-0 at Suncorp Stadium in the Pacific Cup and will face New Zealand at Eden Park before the final in Sydney. The world champion Jillaroos featured NRLW grand-final players from the Roosters and Broncos and overwhelmed Fetu Samoa with superior strikepower and a dominant forward pack. Jesse Southwell impressed on debut and linked strongly with fullback Tamika Upton. Upton created multiple scoring chances, Jessica Sergis scored twice early, and Olivia Kernick and Quincy Dodd added tries.
