Match report
A second half converted Margot Vella try was all that separated the women's sides from the Philippines and Malta in a dogged, tough and physical battle at Cabramatta.
The crowd in attendance were left enthralled as both teams defended their lines superbly, with Vella the only person to find the space necessary to score a try.
It was a memorable encounter for all who saw it.
