The Red Roses have enjoyed two comprehensive victories so far in Pool A. They beat the USA 69-7 on the opening night, before hammering Samoa 92-3 on Saturday. It means the hosts know they are on their way to the quarter-finals. This may give coach John Mitchell the chance to rest some of his squad. Jess Breach is among the top scorers so far in the tournament, running in five tries, including a hat-trick against Samoa, for a total of 25 points. She’ll win her 50th England cap on Saturday, while number 8 Alex Matthews will captain the side in place of the injured Zoe Aldcroft.

The Wallaroos also have plenty of scoring power. Wing Desiree Miller has 25 points, like Breach. She is backed up by plenty of teammates who are not afraid to put a tackle in. The Aussies annihilated Samoa 73-0 in their first match, but an action-packed 31-31 draw with the USA last time out means they are not yet guaranteed to progress to the next phase. The Red Roses would dearly love to stop them and will be aiming to repeat something like the 42-7 victory they claimed when these sides last met in 2023.
