International rugby league - reduces opportunity for teams to be at its World Cup, builds a preposterous format in fear of one sided games, because god forbid you should ever have a one sided game, they don’t happen in the NRL (except when they do) and then… #rugbyleague #rlwc2026

Confirmation has come through from the New Zealand Kiwis camp that Kalyn Ponga is out of the tournament after breaking his arm in the opening round defeat to Australia.
Meanwhile, Australian Kangaroos will monitor Mitch Moses' calf after leaving the field early in the second half.

KANGAROOS. WHAT A GAME #RLWC2026

Two interception tries and a dropout being kicked straight into the fifth row of the stands. Absolute rugby league filth from the Aussies and Kiwis, and I'm loving it #RLWC2026

The masturbatory hyperbole of the Channel Seven Rugby League World Cup commentators is going to make it a long tournament. 😞
