It looks like a close defeat to England could be enough for Australia to reach the quarter-finals, but Chancellor is aiming for more.

“We're looking forward to surprising our competitors,” she said.

“If we say the last game was the game of the tournament, let's look at what was the sensation of the tournament.”

The Wallaroos have not had the record. They have lost seven matches against England, and the Red Roses won 42-7 in their last meeting in 2023.

Despite this, Australia accepts its underdog status.

“It's always nice to be the dark horse, you know, because there's no pressure,” flyhalf Tia Hinds said.

“England are under pressure and we have nothing to lose in this game.

“They are not invincible – history tells us they have been defeated before – and that doesn't mean we can't do it.”

What's next?

Group A concludes on Saturday, September 6 with Samoa v USA in York at 1.30pm, before England face Australia in Brighton at 5pm in a decider with top place at stake.
