Aussie women’s rugby league player Isabelle Kelly has been accused of biting in the Jillaroos’ 38-0 thumping of England in the Women's Rugby League World Cup.

The massive win was marred by the allegation made by England prop Chantelle Crowl late in the first half.

The Jillaroos were leading 24-0 when Crowl tackled Kelly before remonstrating with referee Todd Smith, alleging that Kelly bit her forearm.

The incident was put on report, and will be assessed by the match review committee tomorrow morning.

If charged, Kelly will face the NSWRL judiciary on Monday night.

The big win confirmed that the Jillaroos will finish top of pool A.
