Casualty Ward: Chapman set to take her place in Final

Jillaroos winger Jaime Chapman is set to take her place in Sunday's World Cup Final despite coming off early against Fiji with hamstring awareness.

Chapman, who has scored 10 tries in her four games at RLWC 2026, left the field with 20 minutes remaining in the match at Allianz Stadium.

The Titans flyer is expected to line up as part of a Jillaroos outfit which contains just one change with Jesse Southwell taking over at five-eighth from Jocelyn Kelleher.

Earlier in the tournament the Jillaroos lost outside back Julia Robinson to a dislocated wrist with Sheridan Gallagher joining the squad as cover.

Robinson suffered the injury against England in Perth and initial scans confirmed she had not suffered a fracture, however further MRI imaging identified ligament damage.

Samoa winger Freedom Crichton Ropati missed her side's historic World Cup semi-final clash with the Kiwi Ferns after succumbing to an ankle injury.

Crichton Ropati bagged a first-half hat-trick in the Round 3 win over England but required treatment on her ankle late in the match.

She watched from the sideline in Newcastle as the Fetu bowed out of the World Cup with a 32-0 loss to the Kiwi Ferns.

Roosters second-rower Jasmin Strange suffered an ACL injury at training in the lead-up to England's Round 2 clash with the Jillaroos.

“It was almost a freak accident. It was a defensive session but Jasmin was with the ball, did a step and unfortunately suffered a serious knee injury. It was a real disappointing outcome for someone who has been excellent for us," said England coach Stuart Barrow.

With an expected recovery time of nine months, Strange will look to return to the paddock in the early rounds of the 2027 NRLW season.
