USA vs Australia prediction

USA’s 69-7 defeat to hosts England in the tournament opener was a stark reminder of where the nation is right now in terms of their rebuilding process, as the former champions were comfortably outclassed in all areas of the pitch.

Many of their roster have never previously played together, and that was all too evident in a performance that lacked cohesion.

Given that they now face a side who won 73-0 in their own opener, the omens do not look promising for them.

Australia put on a clinic against Samoa and will be keen to keep that positive momentum going and book their place in the quarter-finals.

The Wallaroos should make their superiority tell with another comfortable victory, although it is unlikely to be as high-scoring as last week's victory.
