Julia Robinson's World Cup in doubt after wrist injury

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 25 Oct, 07:32 · Archive

Australia's Julia Robinson injured her left wrist during the Jillaroos' 78-0 Rugby League World Cup victory over England and was taken to hospital.

Julia Robinson's Rugby League World Cup campaign is in doubt after the Australian centre injured her left wrist during Australia's 78-0 victory over England at HBF Park in Perth on Saturday night. Robinson cradled her wrist in the 20th minute after attempting a tackle and was immediately taken to hospital for scans before the half finished.

Jillaroos coach Jess Skinner said Robinson was in good spirits and eating before departing for hospital. England captain Jodie Cunningham was also hospitalised to have an ear injury treated. The one-sided match saw Australia run in 15 tries, with Jaime Chapman scoring twice in the opening six minutes. Jocelyn Kelleher, Isabelle Kelly and Abbi Church also scored two tries each.

The emphatic win, combined with a 40-0 victory over Samoa, secured Australia's place in the semi-finals. The win means Australia's final group stage match against Wales is now a dead rubber. England, ranked world No.3, must beat Samoa to reach the semi-finals, though the scale of their defeat to Australia will be a major concern.
