FT: Australia 73-0 Samoa
Alastair Telfer BBC Sport at Salford Community Stadium
Former England captain and Australia coach Jo Yapp will be confident her side can qualify for the knockout stages, but it is hard to know just how they will match up against the Red Roses, who are World Cup favourites, given the weak opposition.
Samoa, ranked 15th in the world, are competing at their first Women's World Cup since 2014.
A large portion of the Salford crowd got behind the second-lowest ranked side in the tournament, but strong defence prevented them from crossing in an improved second-half performance.
The Wallaroos next face the United States in York on Saturday, which will probably decide who will qualify alongside England for the quarter-finals.
What is a 20-minute red card?published at 14:06 BST 23 August

At the end of today's game, Samoa's Melina Salale was given a 20-minute red card.
For those new to rugby for the World Cup, laws allow referees the option to send a player off for 20 minutes.
But once the time period is over, the offending team can send on a replacement in their place.
This type of red card is given for technical offences, such as accidental head contact, rather than a deliberate or dangerous act, and designed to punish the player and not the team.
So how does it work?
If a red card is shown to a player, they must leave the pitch for the remainder of the match. But 20 minutes after the red card is shown, the punished player can be replaced by a team-mate.
This enables a team to return to a full complement of players on the field.
Referees are still able to award a permanent red card for "deliberate and dangerous acts of foul play", with no replacement allowed.

FT: Australia 73-0 Samoa
Player of the match, Australia's Cecilia Smith, speaking to World Rugby: "That was really fun! Making my starting debut for a World Cup against my home team was a surreal moment.
"We went out there and stuck to our own game plan, we knew they were physical so we tried to spread it out wide."

Caitlyn Halse (78 mins)
Yes!
Great play by the wonderfully named Piper Duck, offloading under pressure to Georgina Friedrichs who in turn finds the onrushing full back Caitlyn Halse. The teenager scores her second try of the game under the posts.

Adiana Talakai (75 mins)
A potentially record-setting try!
The forwards again go head to head, and again there is only one winner. Adiana Talakai overpowers three Samoan tacklers and scores Australia's 10th try of the day.
Converted by Lori Cramer. As it stands whis would be the widest margin of victory at a Women's World Cup in Australian history.
Lori Cramer kicks from deep, Samoan full back Karla Wright-Akeli almost keeps it in acrobatically - twice - but the cruel bounce of the rugby ball denies her.
