Wallaroos not content with simply being 'better versions' of themselves

The Wallaroos thrashed Scotland 56-12 to record their second straight win over the Scots.

Wallaroos captain Siokapesi Palu Sekona says her side has much room for improvement, despite the lopsided scoreline.

Among Siokapesi Palu Sekona's many impressive qualities as Wallaroos captain is her uncompromising approach.

As such, it does not come as a shock to learn she feels the Wallaroos still have much room for improvement following their dominant 56-12 win over Scotland in this afternoon's Global XV Series Test.

The eight-tries-to-two victory did not represent a complete performance in Palu Sekona's eyes, which should serve as music to the ears of Wallaroos supporters.

It shows the Wallaroos are setting the highest possible standards for themselves.

"We still know there is room for improvement and we definitely know what to do to clean that up," Palu Sekona said.

The Wallaroos defeated Scotland 30-10 three weeks ago in Edinburgh during their three-Test swing through Great Britain and France as part of the Global XV Series.

The victory snapped a six-match losing streak but left Wallaroos players and coaches dissatisfied.

It was a sign of the Wallaroos' quickly developing harder edge, which Palu Sekona wants carried through to the 2029 Women's Rugby World Cup.

"Ultimately results and scores are what people look at. But if we want to break down our rugby, there are so many things to clean up.

"From discipline, to our ruck, to the accuracy of our set-piece. There are things we can continue to work on."

The Wallaroos, ranked seventh in the world, are starting from behind scratch when compared to teams such as England and New Zealand.

Both enjoy the benefit of being full-time programs, with their respective governing bodies making a wise move to invest in the women's game.
