The women's Prime Minister's XIII clash dished up plenty of highlights, but it was all one-way traffic as Australia dominated Papua New Guinea on Sunday afternoon.

In front of a vocal crowd in Port Moresby, a host of the best talent from the NRLW competition flexed their muscle as the green and gold completed a 50-0 rout.

The visitors scored two tries in the opening five minutes, with young gun Rory Owen crossing out wide after a lovely cut-out pass from Jesse Southwell.

The young playmaker continued to wreak havoc in the opening half, while star centre Jaime Chapman produced another highlight reel play with a scintillating solo try.

"It's so easy for the Aussies," Brenton Speed said on Nine.

Chapman got through some poor defence before standing up the PNG fullback.

"I will never get sick of that sight, Jaime Chapman in open space ... she is some type of athlete," Allana Ferguson said.

Owen, Chapman and Keele Browne all bagged doubles before the break in windy conditions in Port Moresby as the hosts were left without an answer for the Aussies.

Australia brought up a half-century not long after half-time, with Browne completing her hat-trick in a stellar afternoon for the Dragons outside back.

PNG showed plenty of fight as the game progressed, conceding just two tries in the second half, but it was too little too late as the Aussies secured a resounding victory.

"They turned up physically, but we have seen a lot of errors in this second half from both sides and only six points scored," Ruan Sims said.

The win came at a cost ahead of the Pacific Championships, with Lauren Brown succumbing to a knee injury and in doubt for the Jillaroos' first game next weekend.
