I wouldn't expect her to know anything about Rugby League, or even have seen a game. But when invited to speak at a Rugby League World Cup event, you'd expect a person in that role to at least know that the sport exists by the time she starts her speech. Does she actually know anything relating to her job?!
She probably got primed on the game where Featherstone Rovers opened the batting but lost to Harlequins and that 147 break.
