In 1996, Australia was hosting the English women's rugby league team on their first tour to this country. The English side played seven games, including three test matches. They only lost to an Australian team once on the tour. This short news story from WIN News Canberra shows Australia taking the win in the first test match (16–14).
This clip is noteworthy for the fact that women's rugby league in Australia in the 1990s was only played in parts of NSW and the ACT and barely made headlines. To have footage of an international match in a nightly news bulletin was a breakthrough for the women's game.
