Jillaroos superstar Tarryn Aiken said she and her teammates actually felt sorry for England after Sunday's 90-4 demolition job in Vegas.

The Jillaroos rewrote the record books with their massive win, with playmaker Aiken the architect, producing an amazing six try assists.

"Look, it's a bit of a hard situation," Aiken told Wide World of Sports.

"We came here to do a job and to showcase to the world how good the Jillaroos are.

"But having said that, it is hard for the other team in these situations and I did feel for them a bit.

"That's footy - they are a good team and they will bounce back."

Aiken said both teams were rattled when the game was stopped for eight minutes in the first half after English forward Vicky Whitfield was knocked out cold returning a kick off.

An ambulance rushed Whitfield to hospital where she remained overnight for observation.

"We were really worried for her and it is scary when you see something like that right in front of you," Aiken said.

"Hopefully she will make a full recovery."

The game was the first of any code played by women at Allegiant Stadium and the Jillaroos were delighted they put on such an impressive display, highlighted by Tamika Upton's five tries.

"It was all a bit surreal, the whole week was sensational," Aiken said.
