Australia will face either Samoa in the Rugby League World Cup final. The defending champion came from behind to deny New Zealand 16-14 in the first semi-final at Leeds today. The Kiwis were first on the board with Jahrome Hughes touching down in the 10th minute and Jordan Rapana made sure of the two points conversion. Five minutes later the Kangaroos hit back through ‘The Fox’, Josh Addor-Carr who sprinted down the sideline, scooping up a kick to score a great try. An offside penalty against Cameron Munster handed Rapana to slot a penalty goal in the 26th minute and the Kiwis had the lead 8-6. Australia hit the front 14 minutes later with a Valentine Homes try but the Kiwis answered back through Dylan Brown as they led 14-10 at the break. A penalty against Brandon Smith for ruck interference in the 53rd minute gave the Kangaroos a tap kick 10 metres out and Cameron Murray powered through some soft defense to grab his fourth try of the tournament.

Rugby Wales play host to Argentina on Saturday. The match will be the third and final meeting between the teams during the RWC 2019-2023 cycle. The first and second fixtures were both in Wales last July; they were moved from Argentina to Cardiff. Saturday’s meeting between the sides is certain to be different to the matches from 2021. The 2021 series coincided the British & Irish Lions’ tour to South Africa. This meant that there was a distraction and that Wales was missing players. Unlike then, schedules mean that neither team will be restricted as to who they can select. Injuries mean Wales go in to the match without Leigh Halfpenny and Dewi Lake. Argentina are without talent too; Rodrigo Bruni, Santiago Chocobares, Santiago Cordero, Tomás Cubelli, Guido Petti and Joel Sclavi are out of the tour. Questions continue to be raised within Wales. Is the formula right? Is Wayne Pivac the man to coach Wales to the World Cup? Wales were beaten heavily by New Zealand on Saturday. Thi...
