Australia v Scotland

The Rugby League World Cup action continues with Scotland's men clashing against reigning champions and pre-tournament favourites Australia in the second of their group games.

On paper, Australia, who have won eight of the last nine tournaments, should win the match in Coventry comfortably, but Mal Meninga’s side came into the World Cup with question marks over their lack of competitive Test action, which has seen them slip to fourth in the world.

Furthermore, Scotland have shown in the past that they can cause the big sides problems, most notably in the 2016 Four Nations when they held New Zealand to a famous 18-18 draw in Workington.
