Australia women criticise Rugby Australia over unfair treatment
Australia women criticise their treatment by Rugby Australia compared to the men's team.
www.bbc.comHere’s a brief update on the Australia women’s national rugby union team (Wallaroos).
-
The Wallaroos have faced strong results recently, with a notable 62-0 loss to New Zealand in July 2024, highlighting the ongoing challenge against the Black Ferns in recent head-to-heads. This followed their earlier 64-5 win over Fiji, showing that results can be variable across tests and series.[1]

In the broader context, Australia’s women’s program has been working toward greater professionalism and greater investment, though there have been ongoing discussions about equality of resources and support compared with the men’s program.[2]
-
For the 2024–2025 period, fixtures and results have included tests and regional competitions, with the national team aiming to build consistency ahead of major tournaments such as the Rugby World Cup. Recent reports from outlets covering Wallaroos performance emphasize both areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.[3][9]
