Wales will hope their losing bonus point will be enough to see them through to the Women’s World Cup quarter-finals after they were edged 13-7 by Australia.

The sides exchanged tries in the first half, with Australia half-back Iliseva Batibasaga catching the defence napping at the ruck before back-rower Sioned Harries responded prior to the break, in a physical affair where the Wallaroos had the edge at the breakdown.

Ioan Cunningham’s team could still qualify for the last eight as one of two best third-placed sides, depending on other results.
