What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAustralia beat Wales 124 to 6 at the women's Rugby League World Cup in Sydney, and ABC News says it's the biggest margin in any women's match, with twenty-one tries.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHot take. Wales lost seventy to six, then seventy-six to nothing, then this.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHonestly, this is a scoreboard that ran out of room, and the draw should answer for that.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHOT. The draw never made a single tackle.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHot take. Australia led sixty to nothing at half-time, the biggest first half in World Cup history.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI want an inquiry into whoever scheduled three powers in a row, and a stern communique.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHOT. Sternness is underused in sport.

  8. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTheir one try came at a hundred to nothing.

  9. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe first side to score against Australia all tournament. The organisers should send a thank-you card.

  10. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTwo HOTS, and my own take is hottest. The draw gets the trophy.

  11. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt put up more points than Wales did, and I can name every one of them.
