The Australians outclassed Ireland 40-7 in their quarter, Maddison Levi scoring a hat-trick to set a new women’s record of 11 tries scored at an Olympics, beating Portia Woodman-Wickliffe’s previous best of 10 at the 2016 Rio Games. Yolaine Yengo converted that and her own try to take the lead after a brilliant Lili Dezou offload out of a double tackle.
But China roared back, Yang Feifei hauled down the line beckoning. When Hirini was yellow carded for a head-high tackle, the Chinese made the numerical advantage pay as Hu Yu outstripped the stretched defence for a try.Five-pointers for Jazmin Felix-Hotham, Michaela Blyde and global rugby legend Woodman-Wickliffe, in her third and final Olympics, made it 24-5 at half-time.
Levi bagged a first-half hat-trick in what was a re-run of both sides’ final pool match earlier Monday won 19-14 by the Australians.
