Wallaroos suffer shock defeat as Wales strike after lightning delay

The Wallaroos, the Australian women's rugby team, suffered a shock defeat against Wales at Ballymore Stadium in Brisbane. The match was temporarily suspended for 35 minutes due to a lightning delay, and Wales capitalized on the interruption to secure a 21-12 victory. Australia had taken an early lead, scoring 7 points in the 12th minute before the game was paused. However, after the resumption, Wales gained the upper hand and scored two tries, with Rafiuke Metcalfe contributing a double, to turn the tide in their favor. The Wallaroos were unable to respond in the second half, resulting in their third consecutive loss.
