Jillaroos not helping themselves

Fiji has absolutely aimed up, especially with their defence, and it's rattling the Jillaroos, who haven't been properly challenged at any point in this tournament.

But, with completions at 12/19 from Australia, not all of those errors are directly from Fiji's defence.

Yes, the pressure being applied plays a role, but now that the shock of that start is done, Jess Skinner can hopefully expect her experienced charges to get back to a more controlled performance in the second half.

That will be easier said than done though, especially if the likes of Luisa Yaranamua, Talei Holmes and Loren Ieli keep playing like they have done for the Bulikula.

All in the balance

What a great first half from the Fijians - well and truly testing the three-time defending champions who looked ruffled for most of that half.

Such is their class that they managed to ensure it's all square at half time with their ability to find the line despite very few forays deep into the Fijians' territory.

Fiji has enjoyed more possession at the break with 56 per cent, and have completed 80 per cent of sets compared to the Jillaroos' 63 per cent.

Halves Luisa Yaranamua and Losana Lutu have done a brilliant job of orchestrating things for their side, while some of Australia's biggest starts including Tamika Upton and Jocelyn Kelleher have had a bit of a mixed bag.

HALF-TIME: Fiji running Jillaroos close at 8-8

What a performance from Fiji, taking it to Australia in a big way on both sides of the ball and the scores are tied as the teams head to the break.

This has happened to teams across the men's and women's World Cups with the question always being how long the underdogs can keep it up. But …

"The Aussie girls are blowing just as much as the Fijians right now," Cronulla fullback Jada Taylor says on ABC Sport.

Former Jillaroos prop Ruan Sims describes it as a "shock and awe" campaign from the Bulikula.

35' Fiji's last chance goes begging

Jon Healy profile image

The Bulikula is surging, but halfback Losanna Lutu knocks it on just as the shift to the left was building steam.

33' TRY-SAVERS FOR AUSTRALIA

Jon Healy profile image

Sienna Laing looks certain to score twice on the left flank, but the defence just cuts her down both times.

Tamika Upton and Shaylee Bent the heroes.

And now Upton bats a grubber out of the hands of Isabella Waterman to prevent a third potential try in a matter of seconds.

Jillaroos starting to switch on

Amanda Shalala profile image

The Jillaroos' completion rate after Fiji scored first was 40 per cent, with the visitors at 90 per cent.

Fiji has now dropped to 81 per cent, and it's provided a small opening for the Australians.

The Jillaroos still aren't playing their best, but will be buoyed by hanging onto the ball a bit more and finally breaking through for first points.

The Fijians look a bit tired and have started to give up easy metres, allowing the Australians to isolate defenders and break the line. 

Upton's try could be an ominous sign, they are the best team in the world for a reason.

The Aiken-Upton combo is humming and Australia is over again

Jon Healy profile image

In the redzone, this Jillaroos outfit is effectively unstoppable.

The remarkable thing about Fiji's performance so far is that they've so rarely allowed Australia to even get there, but now that they have made it again, Tarryn Aiken and Tamika Upton go to work.

Down the right, the former Broncos teammates create the extra number with speed and skill, and Upton skips outside Sienna Laing to dive over.

28' Here come the Jillaroos

Jon Healy profile image

A majestic ball from Tarryn Aiken unleashes Abbi Church again and, while the defence shuts it down, Aiken keeps the pressure on by rolling in a grubber and forcing a dropout.

Slick stuff from the Jillaroos to answer back

Jon Healy profile image

OK, OK. That's a bit more like it from Australia.

An error from Fiji gives the ball to the Jillaroos and a penalty helps them out even more.

Keeley Nizza takes the quick tap to get them rolling up field and Kezie Apps makes the decisive charge to set up a right-side shift.

And the execution is flawless from Tarryn Aiken, Tamika  Upton and Abbi Church as the Eels winger dives over out wide.

Jocelyn Kelleher can't convert, so Australia trails 8-4.

21' Changes for the Jillaroos

Jon Healy profile image

Jess Skinner has gone to her bench, introducing Kezie Apps, Keeley Nizza and Keilee Joseph.

They have their first really impactful set of the game as a result, with Abbi Church breaking down the right, but brought down by Taina Naividi and going within centimetres of being put into touch.

19' Jillaroos trying to fire back, but it's not working

Jon Healy profile image

Australia is trying to make the sort of defensive statement that Fiji has made early, but the over-commitment is allowing offloads and some quick metres through the middle.

Yet again the Jillaroos start their set on their own tryline and can't get over halfway.

I can't remember the last time I saw this happen to the Jillaroos.

FIJI ON TOP!

Amanda Shalala profile image

This has been a fantastic start from Fiji!

The Jillaroos have steamrolled all comers so far in this tournament, and while there's still a long way to go in this game, the Fijians have stepped up and are bringing incredibly defensive intensity, plus a sharp long kicking game to start this semi final.

They've been rewarded with forcing plenty of uncharacteristic errors from the Australians, and we shouldn't be too surprised that they've scored first since they've made a habit of making fast starts throughout this tournament.

The small crowd here is loving seeing a bit of a challenge to the women's international rugby league establishment.

FIJI IS OVER FOR A TRY!

Jon Healy profile image

A bomb forces Tamika Upton to come from inside the in-goal. She somehow escapes, but the follow-up run from Jaime Chapman ends prematurely as Sereana Naitokatoka strips her.

Was it a knock-on? Perhaps, but play is allowed to continue.

A play the ball close to the line scatters defenders and Luisa Yaranamua throws a big dummy before diving over from the base of the ruck.

And she converts for a stunning 8-0 lead!

14' More like Bully Kula

Jon Healy profile image

The defence from Fiji is unbelievable right now.

Jocelyn Kelleher finds the sideline with her kick-off, giving the Jillaroos a perfect attacking platform.

But the defence forces Isabelle Kelly about 15 metres back.

Then Simaima Taufa is hammered by Loren Ieli, and then Tiana Penitani-Gray loses the ball on a short pass from Tarryn Aiken.

Fiji takes a shock early lead

Jon Healy profile image

Simaima Taufa is penalised for crowding the play the ball and Luisa Yaranamua pots the goal to make it 2-0 to Fiji after 12 minutes.

It's the first time since the 2013 World Cup final that the Jillaroos haven't scored the opening points in any international.

9' Frustration from Jillaroos in the face of Fijian ambush

Jon Healy profile image

The kicking game of Fiji once again forces Australia to truck it off the tryline and the Jillaroos are struggling.

They won't be helped by a dropped ball from five-eighth Jocelyn Kelleher, who then cops a spray from the Fijians, prompting a bit of push and shove.

6' Another mistake forced by Fiji

Jon Healy profile image

The up-and-in defence from Isabella Waterman rushes Tarryn Aiken and forces another fumble.

Australia is under the pump early and Fiji's defence is aiming up to stop the Jillaroos from getting any sort of momentum too.

4' What a start from Fiji

Jon Healy profile image

Talei Holmes and Sereana Naitokatoka go within centimetres of scoring the opener for Fiji.

Credit the Jillaroos defence for denying them, but Fiji matches with driving defence to make life difficult for Australia getting out of their own territory.

3' Another chance for the Fijians

Jon Healy profile image

The Bulikula's first kick of the game is high out to Abbi Church, who decides to take it right next to the sideline before being dumped into touch.

She flicks a pass back in-field and it's dived on by Fiji.

2' An early error from the Jillaroos

Jon Healy profile image

A little bit of panic maybe from the Jillaroos as the rushing Fijian defence creates a dead end, forcing a u-turn and drawing the error from Millie Elliott.

1' Fiji kicks us off

Jon Healy profile image

The second women's semifinal gets underway with Millie Elliott flying into the defence, followed by Simaima Taufa.

And then a big charge from Shaylee Bent earns the Jillaroos a penalty as Fiji is penalised for a strip. Can't be starting behind the eight ball against the Aussies.

The anthems are done

Jon Healy profile image

It's time for the Noqu Masu of Fiji.

One of the great pre-game traditions in world sport.

Here come Australia and Fiji

The Bulikula and Jillaroos are on the pitch at the Sydney Football Stadium.

How must the Fijians feel ahead of their first World Cup semifinal against the almighty Jillaroos?

Kiwi Ferns in seventh heaven

Jon Healy profile image

No edition of the Women's Rugby League World Cup has been played without New Zealand reaching the final, and the Kiwi Ferns have done it again this time out.

The world number two reached their seventh straight decider, awaiting the Jillaroos or the Bulikula.

LATE MAIL: Jillaroos and Fiji 1-17

Tiana Penitani-Gray is returning for the Jillaroos in the back row after missing last week's win over Wales with a foot injury.

But neither team is making any late changes this afternoon.
