Rugby League World Cup Final

The Rugby League World Cup is an international rugby league tournament contested by the top national representative teams. The tournament is administered by the International Rugby League and was first held in France in 1954, which was the first World Cup held for any form of rugby football.

Old Trafford will host the double-header final for the Rugby League World Cup.

Located in Manchester, England, the ground has a capacity of 74,310 which makes it the second-largest sports stadium in the country behind Wembley Stadium.

The famous stadium is the home of football team Manchester United, but with the English Premier League pausing for the FIFA World Cup in mid-November, it is available for use.

Due to this scheduling, no other Rugby League World Cup games will be played at Old Trafford earlier in the tournament.

Toa Samoa v Kangaroos Rugby League

Gallagher Australian Kangaroos Head Coach Mal Meninga has named a 19-man squad for the Rugby League World Cup 2021 Final against Samoa at Old Trafford on Sunday, November 20 (AEDT).

Meninga has made no changes to the 19 players selected for last week’s semi-final.

“I am very happy with the attitude and performances of all 24 players throughout the World Cup but keeping the same team for the final is a bonus,” Meninga said.
