The Broncos flyer was the star for the Aussie side, scoring six tries in an 84-0 flogging of the PNG Orchids.

"That's pretty impressive," Ruan Sims said on Nine.

Sam Bremner held the previous record for most tries in a match, scoring five in the 2013 World Cup.

The other winger, Jakiya Whitfeld also equalled Bremner's record with her own five-try haul.

The Jillaroos ran in 17 tries overall, but converted only eight.

If those nine tries were converted, it could've been 102-0.

Robinson scored a double inside the first 20 minutes, with Tamika Upton going over too.

Whitfeld had her first in the 24th minute before PNG's fortunes became worse when Roswita Kapo was sin binned for a professional foul.

That followed a bittersweet moment when Lyiannah Allen and Sareka Mooka pulled off an incredible try-saver on Yasmin Clydsdale.

In the lead up though, Latoniya Norris dropped with an injury before she was taken off in a medicab. It was later revealed to be an ACL injury.

By half-time, it was 36-0 in favour of the Jillaroos.

The carve up continued in the second half with Robinson scoring her final try in the 62nd minute.
