    Australia are sending out a warning shot here.

  2. try

    TRY - Australia 24-0 Papua New Guinea

    Evania Pelite

    Pelite gets her name on the scoresheet, but this is all about Emma Tonegato.

    She blitzes through a couple of tackles before setting up her team mate to cross for her sixth try of the tournament.

    An all-Olympic try there - both Pelite and Tonegato represented their country at rugby sevens in Tokyo.

    Brown hits the post with her conversion!

  3. Australia 20-0 Papua New Guinea

    Andrea Dobson

    It's really clever play to wait to see how the defenders react and pick the moneyball. They made it look easy.

  4. try

    TRY - Australia 20-0 Papua New Guinea

    Shaylee Bent, conv. Lauren Brown

    I fear it is game over already.

    Australia go quick in the set, picking open holes for Bent to get her first try of the tournament under the posts.

    Brown with the simple conversion.

  5. Australia 14-0 Papua New Guinea

    So after a tight opening 10 minutes, the last 10 have been all Australia with three tries and some sensational rugby.

    They're almost through for another, a delicate grubber kick causing PNG panic and forcing Shae De La Cruz to kick out behind her own goal line.

    That may be one of the best sets we have seen from the Jillaroos this World Cup.

  7. try

    TRY - Australia 14-0 Papua New Guinea

    Isabelle Kelly

    They're motoring now!

    Australia go from right to left with great pace, even with one misplaced pass PNG cannot keep up.

    Taliah Fuimaono then fires up the afterburners before laying up Kelly for her second try in four minutes.

    Brown misses again, now one in three from the tee.

    What a great finish and great strength one-on-one.

  9. try

    TRY - Australia 10-0 Papua New Guinea

    Isabelle Kelly

    A really well worked try for Australia, with a lot of credit going to Lauren Brown.

    She dummies a pass to take a couple of defenders out the game, before finding Kelly who uses sheer power to knock the remaining Orchids out the way before going over.

    Brown puts her second kick of the game wide to the left of the posts.

  10. Australia 6-0 Papua New Guinea

    So, how do PNG respond to that?

    They are immediately back on a defensive footing. Australia will want to press their early advantage.

  11. Australia 4-0 Papua New Guinea

    Andrea Dobson
    Former England captain on BBC Red Button

    Great try, you almost feel a bit for Papua New Guinea, they had a great scramble defence and had the numbers back.

    But it was great play from Australia.

  12. try

    TRY - Australia 6-0 Papua New Guinea

    Keeley Davis, conv. Lauren Brown

    And there we go.

    Australia's first meaningful attack after a fine turnover, PNG defend in numbers but no resisting this Jillaroo machine.

    Davis gets over for her first try of the World Cup, Brown adding the extra two points.

  13. Australia 0-0 Papua New Guinea

    Andrea Dobson
    Former England captain on BBC Red Button

    There are glimpses of how Australia can be in attack. PNG just need to slow them down because once Australia get a roll on they're hard to contain.

  14. Australia 0-0 Papua New Guinea

    Great run by PNG captain Elsie Albert, carrying it from deep and winning a penalty in the midfield.

    The Orchids have started well, but all Australia need is half an opening to punish them.

  15. Australia 0-0 Papua New Guines

    Andrew Voss
    BBC Sport commentator on BBC Red Button

    This is very north of England conditions. It might take a while to get used to.

  16. Australia 0-0 Papua New Guinea

    Apologies for going on about the weather, but I am British.

    It is extremely foggy, wet and slippery out there. Not conducive to flowing rugby.

    Will that benefit the underdogs?

  17. Australia 0-0 Papua New Guinea

    PNG get us going - Shellie Long's kick is very short - deliberately so? - falling short of the 10 metre line.

    It comes back to the centre for a PNG scrum.

  18. Kick-off

    The short turnarounds will help Australia with their depth. There will still be tired bodies around.
