  • Maya Stewart marked her return from knee surgery by diving over for the opening try in the 16th minute.
  • Wales were reduced to 14 players after prop Gwenllian Pyrs received a yellow card for a deliberate knock-on.
  • Second-half tries from Katalina Amosa, Tabua Tuinakauvadra (twice) and Ashley Marsters extended Australia’s advantage.
  • The Wallaroos will now shift focus to their World Cup pool fixture against Samoa in Salford on August 23.
