THE TEAM NEWS
AUSTRALIA
19-man squad: 1 James Tedesco, 2 Daly Cherry-Evans, 3 Ben Hunt, 4 Valentine Holmes, 5 Jake Trbojevic, 6 Reagan Campbell-Gillard, 7 Cameron Munster, 9 Josh Addo-Carr, 10 Jack Wighton, 12 Matt Burton, 13 Patrick Carrigan, 14 Nathan Cleary, 15 Lindsay Collins, 17 Angus Crichton, 19 Campbell Graham, 20 Harry Grant, 21 Liam Martin, 22 Jeremiah Nanai, 24 Isaah Yeo
SCOTLAND
19-man squad: 2 Matty Russell, 3 Ben Hellewell, 4 Kieran Buchanan, 5 Lachlan Walmsley, 6 Bailey Hayward, 8 Logan Bayliss-Brown, 9 Liam Hood, 10 Sam Luckley, 11 Euan Aitken, 12 Kane Linnett, 13 James Bell, 14 Kyle Schneider, 15 Luke Bain, 18 Jack Teanby, 19 Calum Gahan, 20 Davey Dixon, 22 Alex Walker, 23 Bayley Liu, 24 Dale Ferguson
THE PREDICTION
Australia were comfortable victors in their opening clash of the Rugby League World Cup as they laid down a marker for the rest of the tournament. The Kangaroos will now rotate their side to give a game to those who missed out last week but there has not been a drop in quality with the likes of Nathan Cleary and Isaah Yeo coming in. For Scotland, they suffered an extremely disappointing loss at the hands of Italy and it is hard to see anything but a huge loss in this one to the reigning world champions. With players needing to perform to force their way into Mal Meninga’s side, the Australians can put on a show here and cover the -60 handicap.
