  1. Kick-off

    Australia 40-0 Papua New Guinea

    Here we go, the second 40 minutes are underway.

    Another 40 points for Australia? More?

  2. HT: Australia 40-0 Papua New Guinea

    The England and New Zealand players have arrived at York Community Stadium. That game follows this one, and should be a cracker.

    Or at least a lot closer.

  3. We are now watching highlights of the men's semi-finals on the BBC Red Button.

    My heart can't take the England v Samoa replay. What a game that was.

  4. HT: Australia 40-0 Papua New Guinea

    Papua New Guinea's Gloria Kaupa, speaking to BBC Red Button:

    "I think we have to go out there and hold them with the ball. In the second half we will get our game back."

  5. HT: Australia 40-0 Papua New Guinea

    Australia's Ali Brigginshaw, speaking to BBC Red Button:

    "The girls are really good. There are some errors we need to tidy up. With the conditions though I am happy with that.

    "The conditions are crazy, I don't know whether it's snowing or what? The ball is so slippery."

    Welcome to November in Yorkshire, Ali.

  6. So it is going to be an Australian double header in the final at Old Trafford this weekend. Australia v Samoa in the men's showpiece follows the women's game.

    Will it be England or New Zealand facing the Jillaroos at the home of Manchester United?

  7. HT: Australia 40-0 Papua New Guinea

    The good has been very good from the Jillaroos. They're on the way to Old Trafford at the break.

  8. HT: Australia 40-0 Papua New Guinea

    Eight tries, four of them converted, and Australia haven't even been at their best.

    PNG held Australia well for the first 10 minutes, but have been overwhelmed since the first try.

  9. Australia 40-0 Papua New Guinea

    Andrea Dobson
    Former England captain on BBC Red Button

    I don't want to be Brad Donald having to pick the Australia team for the final.

  10. Half-time - Australia 40-0 Papua New Guinea

    And breathe.

  11. Australia 40-0 Papua New Guinea

    Andrea Dobson
    Former England captain on BBC Red Button

    The Australians have been very clever in attack. They've gone through the middle when the forwards look tired and they've played to the spaces.

  12. try

    TRY - Australia 40-0 Papua New Guinea

    Isabelle Kelly, conv. Lauren Brown

    A first half hat-trick for Kelly.

    Pelite again at the heart of the move, a lovely pass over the top of the defence to find Jessica Sergis on the wing.

    She moves it back inside for Kelly to drive over.

  13. Australia 34-0 Papua New Guinea

    Any more for any more?

    PNG already look exhausted.

  14. Australia 32-0 Papua New Guinea

    Andrea Dobson
    Former England captain on BBC Red Button

    They have so many options. There were five Australians attacking to three defenders on the outside.

    PNG are so desperate in defence they're having to pack the middle.

  15. try

    TRY - Australia 34-0 Papua New Guinea

    Olivia Kernick, conv. Lauren Brown

    Try number seven.

    PNG get penalised for a knock-on near their own try line, and a couple of tackles later Kernick has gone over for her second try of this tournament.

    Brown this time is on target.

  16. Australia 28-0 Papua New Guinea

    Andrea Dobson
    Former England captain on BBC Red Button

    I'd like to see a better end to Papua New Guinea's sets. They're not doing themselves any favours turning the ball over so cheaply.

  17. Australia 28-0 Papua New Guinea

    If anyone wondered whether Australia were showing weakness in that narrow win over New Zealand, they have silenced many doubts here.

    PNG simply have no answer. They have made a few handling errors and haven't been at their best defensively tonight - but even if they were, I can't see how they could have stopped Australia in this mood.

  18. Australia 28-0 Papua New Guinea

    Andrew Voss
    BBC Sport commentator on BBC Red Button

    The speed machine on show there! Australia have some of the quickest in the women's game.

  19. Australia 28-0 Papua New Guinea

    Andrea Dobson
    Former England captain on BBC Red Button

    Too strong. Too fast.

  20. try

    TRY - Australia 28-0 Papua New Guinea

    Shenae Ciesiolka

    This is carnage.

    A fast break down the right wing, with Ciesiolka laid off near the line for her third try of the World Cup.

    Brown is wide again. Only her misfiring radar is keeping the score line respectable.
