Rugby League Grand Final: World Cup 2022


Rugby League World Cup 2022

The Rugby League World Cup 2022 is finally taking place after the global pandemic delayed the tournament by a calendar year. The action is all taking place at once with the men’s, the women’s, and the wheelchair tournaments taking place concurrently. Make sure you follow all the games, tries, and goals along the way to the final taking place at Old Trafford in Manchester on November 19th.

Rugby League World Cup 2022 preview

The typical rugby nations enter the competition as obvious favourites to qualify from their respective groups, however across the 16 nations in the men’s tournament, there’s more than enough competition. Australia should have enough power with Josh Addo-Carr, James Tedesco, and Valentine Holmes to see it past the group also containing Italy, Scotland, and Fiji.

The hosts, England are unlikely to meet Australia early in the tournament as both will have their sights set on topping their groups. England is set to play France, Samoa, and tournament underdogs, Greece. The English will of course be haunted by the memory of playing Australia having lost a low-scoring final, 6-0 in 2017 when the competition was hosted in our backyard.

Despite fundamentally being a venue for soccer and the home of Manchester United, Old Trafford is a destination steeped in rugby history. Australia has fond memories of the ground having won the Rugby League World Cup final there in 2000, defeating New Zealand with heroic performances from Wendell Sailor and Mathew Rogers.
