2026 Rugby League World Cup fixtures - October/November

[Tucker]

Atkinson has missed a lot of stuff tonight.

 

[gallagher]

All done boys, great tournament.

 

[Telltails]

Munster has had a very good tournament…and Bostock - what an amazing tournament from him.

Munster showing he has still got plenty left in the tank.

 

[Speed2burn]

NZ did well to not let Australia score 50+ , thoroughly outplayed. Disappointing final for the kiwis, perfect game from the Aussies (1st half atleast)

 

[Tucker]

Excellent result.
Kev was superb as coach tapering the squad to perfection.
They have anihilated the only team in the world capable of beating them.
The forward pack were the heroes, they stood up and smacked two very good packs 2 weeks in a row.

Kiwis salty as [This word has been automatically removed] where I am

kangaroos got to $2.30 prior to that Samoan semi, the bookies fell for the kiwi hype.
Well done kangaroos great world cup win

Spare a thought for Kalyn Ponga. He has had a great 2026
BUT he has also

1. Lost the SOO decider in Queensland
2. Lost the NRL Grand Final
3. Lost the World Cup Final.

Lot of heartbreak.

Australia very classy tonight. Coach Walters deserves a lot of credit. He did have a lot of good players to work with

Ponga left his golden boots at home?

He did, but no one was saying that a month ago. In fact the consensus was that this side weren’t going to be good enough.
He has done an excellent job and should be very proud of his work with this group.

I tried being friendly they wanted nothing to do with it

 

[user118245]

All done boys, great tournament.

For the Australian team? ✅
For fans of the game? ❌

2-3 good games, rest snooze fests or blowouts. And the group format was stupid, PVL has 4 years to fix it up tho

He almost had a perfect season. He probably didn’t think he was a chance of this at the start of the year.

I felt more heartbreak as a Tigers fans.
No players in the SOO decider. Not close to the finals (let alone the GF). No players in the World Cup Final.

If I can offer some advice, Kiwis come off the fist very nicely lol…where are you?

Almost being the operative word.
Lost every decider he played in lol.

Ours has to be the most shittiest national anthem, the music is rushed, the words are rushed and cut short, there is no feeling in it whatsoever, no wonder some of the players don’t want to sing it.

I still prefer “I am Australian”, much more stirring and relevant,

 

[Tomatosoup912]

I thought the kiwis were putrid tonight. Literally from the kick off, failed to execute everything.

Australia was clearly the better team but they still made 18 errors and missed 20 tackles. I just think the kiwis were so poor they made Australia look unbeatable.

The first time they made Walsh make a kick return was in the 70th minute. The constant errors, mainly exiting their own half, meant they never even entered the contest.

Anticlimactic end to a World Cup that had some really good moments.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Stagg and Martin did a number on McLean, welcome to test football son.
Isaako made 8 errors by my count and contributed heavily to the defeat.
Nice to see Teddy recognised at the end.
Thanks for the memories .
RL 2026, over and out, now to 2027.
