Absolutely incredible from the USA, the confidence to do what they do so well. It is such a difficult skill to score when you are that close.
Freda Tafuna HAT-TRICK (con Wood)
If at first you don't succeed...
USA do finally get the ball over the line and it's a hat-trick for their flanker! Sam Wood boots through the posts and we have some finish on our hands again.

INCREDIBLE defence from Australia...
I don't know who they prevented the US from scoring as wave upon wave of pressure was repelled.
USA 17-26 Australia
Into the final 20. USA have been asked to go to the well once more. Can they respond?

Halse is a teenage sensation for the Wallaroos!
Despite being so young, she just sees it at her pace.
Caitlyn Halse (con Wood)
Corrrr!
I tell you what Australia were in big trouble and looked short of ideas but they have reacted in a stunning fashion and this is a wonderful score. They move th eball through hands at great pace, stretch the States and this young tyro of a full-back Halse is in the right place again to score under the sticks.
Sam Wood kicks the two and that could be important.

That is exactly what you what from your winger and you want them to be able to finish even on 1-1. I had no doubt when Miller got the ball, that she was going to finish.
Desiree Miller
Some game this!
Australia have been on the ropes since the restart but get a good catch and drive from their lineout, they pick out star wing Desiree Miller on the left and she hands off Lotte Sharp to sprint into the corner for her second of the night.

What an amazing run of form for this USA team. This pack play so well together and keep it moving.
Freda Tafuna (con Hawkins)
USA lead!
The pressure has been immense and after a strong maul Freda Tafuna is in the right place to touch down for her second score of the night! McKenzie Hawkins is immaculate from the tee this time...

Maher is really fighting for her side her and keeping them in it.

The US tails are up. Ilona Maher wins a turnover on the floor and roars into the York sky.

The entire team including the subs that were warming up, ran on there.

Thats a big big try for the USA!
Keia Mae Sagapolu
Just the start they needed! Wing Erica Coulibaly makes a terrific break and Australia rally brilliantly to shut them out, but prop Keia Mae Sagapolu has the power to finish.
McKenzie Hawkins hits BOTH posts with the conversion and the ball bounces out.
USA 5-14 Australia
We are back up and running! The USA need a 10-point swing to stay in the World Cup.
England ran in 90+ points this afternoon and unsurprisingly coach John Mitchell was a happy man.

A great time to score. Australia are heading through as it stands but the States had the better of most of that half...
