Desiree Miller becomes the first Wallaroo to reach 20 Test tries as Australia run in eight scores against Scotland in Sydney.
A Wallaroos squad built from diverse heritages showed what modern women's rugby looks like at its best, and Desiree Miller led the way. Australia swept aside Scotland 56-12 at Accor Stadium in Sydney in a WXV clash that turned into a showcase of pace and power.
Miller, moved to full-back for the occasion, wrote her name into the record books by becoming the first Wallaroo to cross for 20 Test tries. The speedster collected her scores from near-identical plays off scrums, a pattern Scotland saw coming but could not stop.
Australia put together a run of 42 unanswered points on a Saturday lunchtime, finishing with eight tries in total. Once the hosts found top gear, the contest was effectively over, and the crowd got a feast of attacking rugby.
For Miller, the milestone confirms her standing as one of the most dangerous finishers in the women's game. For the Wallaroos, it is a statement of intent in the WXV: a team with pace on the outside, polish in the set piece and no mercy once the gaps appear.
