Australia face the USA on Saturday, August 30, at York Community Stadium in one of the standout fixtures of the Women’s Rugby World Cup.
The USA are looking to recover from a heavy 69–7 defeat by England, while Australia sit top of Pool A after a 73–0 win over Samoa. The Wallaroos have shown pace, creativity and attacking variety, making them difficult opponents in current form.
History favours the Americans. Of the nine previous meetings, the USA have won six, with Australia taking three. Their last match, a warm-up ahead of the tournament, ended 27–19 to the Wallaroos.
Key for the USA is prop Hope Rogers, who scored a hat-trick in their last game and brings power and experience. Captain Kate Zackary and Rachel Ehrecke add further strength to the Eagles’ forward pack.
Australia will look to Charlotte Caslick, Ashley Marsters and Maya Stewart. Caslick’s speed and creativity offer constant threat, while Stewart’s finishing ability has been decisive in recent matches.
