Australia’s rugby league world cup campaign continues with a match against Lebanon. The match will be played at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium on Saturday, November 11 at 8pm (AEDT).

The Kangaroos have so far lived up to the billing as hot tournament favourites. They opened the competition with a hard-fought 18-4 victory against fellow contenders England, before demolishing France 52-6 in Canberra last Friday.

Australia currently sits atop Group A, with their progression to the knockout stage of the tournament already guaranteed.

Lebanon, on the other hand, haven’t had it all their own way so far, but would still be confident of moving past the group stage – even with a loss to the tournament co-hosts.

The Cedars enjoyed a 29-18 victory over France in their tournament opener, but were dealt a 29-10 loss by England a few days later. Given the top three teams from Group A progress, Lebanon will only be eliminated with a loss here and a monumental upset of England by France.
