Rugby betting tips: England v Australia Predictions for Women’s World Cup

Could England’s Attack Prove Too Ruthless for Australia in Brighton?

• England have scored 161 points and conceded only 10 across their first two pool matches.
• Australia’s only World Cup win so far came against Samoa, a side beaten 92-3 by England.
• Jess Breach crossed for multiple tries in the Samoa game, showing the volume of opportunities available for England’s wings.

Our Best Bet

England dominance has been unmistakable, scoring a combined 161 points in their two outings and conceding only 10.

Australia, by contrast, enter the fixture under pressure. They were frustrated by a 31-31 draw against the USA in their most recent match, a result that leaves their qualification chances in the balance. A solitary point of any kind would likely see them through, though the size of England’s challenge makes that a daunting task. The Wallaroos have shown flashes of flair, none more so than in their 73-0 demolition of Samoa, but their struggles against higher-ranked opposition such as New Zealand earlier this year underline the gap they must bridge to match the world’s number one side.

The form lines suggest a compelling contest for different reasons. England are chasing perfection and aiming to sharpen their game even further, while Australia must scrap for survival. The stakes, the styles, and the atmosphere in Brighton should combine to produce a dramatic evening, even if the two sides appear worlds apart on recent evidence.

Best Bet for the Day

Here at bettingtips4you we take a selective approach, offering just one recommendation per fixture. We believe in clarity and accountability, and that means readers can track our performance without confusion. For today’s feature clash, our best bet is: Abby Dow To Score A Hat-trick at 11/2.

The reasoning lies not just in England’s overwhelming superiority but also in the nature of their attacking patterns. Dow, positioned out wide, has consistently benefited from the quick service provided through midfield by the likes of Zoe Harrison and Natasha Hunt, as well as the line breaks fashioned by Jess Breach and Ellie Kildunne. With England averaging over 80 points across their opening two matches, it is clear their wingers are heavily involved in the finishing touches.

Dow’s pace and ability to exploit mismatches are central to why this wager stands out. Against Samoa, England’s backline constantly created overlaps, leading to a try spree that allowed Breach to shine. Dow is due a similarly explosive performance, especially given the likelihood of England targeting the wider channels against an Australian defence that has looked vulnerable when stretched.

Furthermore, with John Mitchell rotating his squads earlier in the pool stage, several of England’s key attacking players come into this fixture fresh and sharp. If England establish dominance early, the opportunities for multiple scores out wide will increase as the match wears on, making Dow a prime candidate to cross the line repeatedly. At 11/2, the value is evident for a player with both the form and the platform to deliver.
