The Rugby League World Cup 2026 final pits rivals Australia against New Zealand at Suncorp Stadium. Australia, unbeaten and seeking their 13th world title, enters the match after a dominant semi-final win. Coach Kevin Walters may deploy tactical surprises, including a potential starting role for prop Keaon Koloamatangi.
New Zealand, inspired by the potential return of star fullback Kalyn Ponga who overcame a broken arm just 23 days prior, will aim to emulate their 2008 upset victory. Ponga's impressive performance on opening night has set up a compelling matchup against Australia's Reece Walsh. Casey McLean remains a significant threat for the Kiwis.
