Ruthless Australia win record fourth Women's World Cup

Jaime Chapman's grin after acrobatically diving over in the corner said it all. Her second try of the match and Australia's third – the World Cup final put to bed inside 15 minutes.

The red-hot Australian winning machine blew New Zealand away in the first half as they cantered to a record fourth World Cup title - and fourth in a row - with a 34-10 win in Brisbane. Record books were consulted at the break, with Australia on course to challenge New Zealand's 58-0 winning margin from the 2003 final.

But the two sides neutralised one another during the second period, New Zealand maintaining their record of not conceding after the break at this tournament - and bagging a consolation try - albeit with Australia long out of sight. The undisputed dominant force in women's rugby league, Australia are now unbeaten in 16 World Cup matches - a run stretching back to July 2013.
