As ever, however, it's 12-time world champions Australia this is the 17th edition of the RLWC who enter as favourites.

The absences of code-crossing superstar Mark Nawaqanitawase and injured NRL Dally M Player of Year Nathan Cleary, however, might just knock the Kangaroos off their stride a touch, especially as Reece Walsh is coming off such a disappointing domestic campaign. Kevin Walters has only included NRL
joint-top scorer Thomas Jenkins as a shadow player. 2008 champions and three-time runners-up New Zealand won the Pacific Championships in
Australia's absence, and are led by Kalyn Ponga, James Fisher-Harris and Erin Clark.

Samoa reached the Rugby League World Cup final for the first time five years ago, and will fancy making their mark again despite Payne Haas being missing through injury. Tonga, who reached the RLWC last four for the first time in 2017, do have most of their big guns available, including Haumole Olakau'atu, Leka Halasima and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak.

England, who have reached the final three times (once as Great Britain), had their expectations tempered by last year's comprehensive Ashes series humiliation, which forced an impromptu managerial change. New boss Brian McDermott, however, has raised eyebrows by dropping Super League top scorer Jake Connor for the unpredictable Mikey Lewis.
