Rugby League.

Rugby League.

on that note - RWC follows the 24 team Euros/Asian Cup/ 80s FIFA World Cup format

Interestingly, even as hosts, we weren't seeded - Wallabies were Pot 2, and have been put in Pool A with New Zealand, Chile and Hong Kong

I blame their national curriculum.

I think they would have, but RFL/IRL (I can't remember the international governing body name) decided to reduce from 16 back to 10 - a lot of countries have kicked a stink about this

Hold on, hold on, hold on here... Rugby has a world cup? How to you qualify? Is it 48 teams?

Will there be a fan zone at Federation square?

so many questions.

Already had fan zone in June/earlier this month. Apparently they got footage
