Australia 's women’s side were dealt a reality check ahead of the Rugby World Cup in August .

Coach Jo Yapp has been reinforcing her 15 -a-side ranks with stars from the successful sevens program.

The Wallaroos went into this Test at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle with their tails up.

Last week they put Fijiana to the sword 43-7 in Suva for a fourth straight victory.

“Had we come out in the first half with the intent we showed in the second , we probably would’ve got a very different result. It’s all about intent and fire, body language and energy. We’ll bring all that next week .”.
