46 min: That's a hat-trick for Jada Taylor as Tayla Preston and Tahlia O'Brien combine to send the winger over. Taylor has racked up 11 tackle breaks and 103 run metres in a sizzling display. Australia 38-6

43 min: Cynthia Peters with a meek end to as she takes on the line and is easily wrapped up 5m out.

41 min: Australia make a meal of the catching the kick-off and are forced into a line dropout. Some enterprising attack from PNG but Lilah Malabag is shut down on the last.

39 min: On the back of a clean line break by Jada Taylor, Australia work to close range and Kasey Reh grubbers expertly for Tayla Preston to follow through and score. Preston converts. Australia 34-6

Half-time: Australia take a 22-point lead to the break courtesy of doubles to Jada Taylor and Taneka Todhunter and the classy playmaking skills of Kasey Reh, who came up with two try assists and two line break assists.

34 min: Kasey Reh takes the ball one off the ruck 30m out and busts the line with a great step before sending a pass back inside for Taneka Todhunter to make it a double in quick time. Georgia Hannaway adds the extras. Australia 28-6

29 min: Taneka Todhunter scoots out of dummy half from 10m out and can't be stopped. A strong charge by Khyliah Gray had put the defence on the back foot and Todhunter capitalised. Georgia Hannaway converts. Australia 22-6

28 min: Ua Ravu again gets caught on the last and PNG turn the ball over 20m out from the Australia line.

27 min: Jecinta Garry is placed on report for a shoulder charge and Australia go on the attack but Ruby-Jean Kennard-Ellis pushes a poor offload and the ball is turned over.

26 min: Lucy Spain does a great job to get back and cover up a kick and bring it back 20 metres on a weaving run.

22 min: An error by Lucy Spain hands PNG a chance but Ua Ravu is shut down by Chloe Jackson on the last tackle and the movement comes to an abrupt halt.

20 min: Time for a drinks break in the humid conditions.

18 min: Georgia Hannaway with a peach of a cut-out pass for Jada Taylor to cruise over untouched on the left edge. Hannaway converts her own try. Australia 16-6

14 min: On the back of a mistake by PNG fullback Anika Butler the Australian team has a set scrum 10m out and they go right where Kasey Reh sends Andie Robinson over. Georgia Hannaway fails to convert. Australia 10-6

9 min: PNG hit back as Josephine Howard gets down low and burrows over from dummy half to score next to the posts. The conversion is good from Gemma Walker. 6-6

5 min: Jada Taylor on the board early for Australia after slick hands to the left with Rory Owen throwing the final pass. Georgia Hannaway converts superbly from touch in the windy conditions. Australia 6-0
