Australia v Italy

Coverage from St Helens as Rugby League World Cup holders Australia play their final match of the group stage against minnows Italy.

New Zealand are the only side other than the Australia to win the World Cup since its inception in 1972, and the Aussies are again favourites, despite a lack of game time over the last couple of years. In fact, prior to arriving in England, they had played just four times since the 2017 World Cup final.
